Description:
Investing in oil and gas can build your wealth AND reduce your taxes! One of the most significant tax deductions is the intangible drilling cost deduction, which allows investors to use drilling and development costs to be deducted against your active income, including that in your business or W-2! This deduction can mean significant tax savings, especially in the early project years. Investing in oil and gas can provide a steady stream of income, and diversify investment portfolios. So why aren’t more of our clients taking advantage of this? Most people simply do not understand how it works! Luckily I will be holding a webinar with 2 experts in this field to help educate us and break down the numbers of investing in oil and gas. Join me with Stuart Turley, President and CEO of Sandstone Group and founder of the Crude Truth Podcast, and Rey Trevino “RT”, Director of Operations at Pecos Country Energy Inc and the Energy News Beat Podcast. as we do a deep dive of the tax savings, profit and cashflow you will receive when you invest in Oil and Gas.

Mark Perlberg: All right. Welcome, everybody. I’m joined here by Ray Travino and Stew Turley. They are gonna help us
6000:10:00.060 –> 00:10:05.920
Mark Perlberg: learn more about oil and gas and the tax advantages of investing in it
61
00:10:05.970 –> 00:10:09.090
Mark Perlberg: and the cash flow it can create.
62
00:10:09.140 –> 00:10:27.440
Mark Perlberg: This is going to be really helpful for a lot of our real estate investor clients who maybe can’t find deals, or they still want to do stuff with their cash that’s going to reduce their taxable income and create cash, flow similar to real estate. But this is going to be legitimately passive income
63
00:10:27.580 –> 00:10:36.380
Mark Perlberg: where you’re actually not going to have to do anything, and you’re not going to have to evict tenants, and these toilet goals to generate cash, flow.
64
00:10:36.430 –> 00:10:42.530
Mark Perlberg: So this is a topic we’ve been. I’ve been really really e to talk about this with experts for a very long time.
65
00:10:42.760 –> 00:10:54.690
Mark Perlberg: because we wanted to explain this to our clients. We saw the opportunities for our clients, but we didn’t have enough data and insight to help them make as good educated, informed decisions. Well, now is the time.
66
00:10:54.750 –> 00:11:06.160
Mark Perlberg: So i’m going to introduce you guys, and we’re going to jump into it. So Ray Travino. welcome and thanks for joining us. Can you give us a little bit about your background in 60 s or less.
67
00:11:06.390 –> 00:11:21.540
Rey Trevino III: Absolutely. Hello, everyone. My name’s Ray Travina the Third. I am a director of operations at Bay Coast Country, operating, and I’m. A. By a senior vice President of Pay Coast country energy. We are a family owned and operated
68
00:11:21.540 –> 00:11:30.730
Rey Trevino III: Oil and Gas Company. We are an expiration of Production Company, and we also then operate our own wells that we we drill or recomplete.
69
00:11:30.810 –> 00:11:33.050
Rey Trevino III: and we also
7000:11:33.250 –> 00:11:51.880
Rey Trevino III: are in the mineral side of things, and in every now and then we like to invest in what are called minerals or royalties, which then also allow additional monthly revenue to come in, and just add that additional stream. So again, my name is R. Travino, the third second generation Oil and Gansa
71
00:11:51.880 –> 00:11:56.440
here in full war. Texas. Hello, everyone awesome! It’s, too.
72
00:11:56.860 –> 00:12:15.080
Stu Turley: you bet. Hey? Thanks, Mark, for having us on. I just absolutely enjoyed our podcast that you are on Mark, and my name is Stu Turley present. CEO, the sandstone group, and I just have the pleasure of being a podcast host on the Energy News beat podcast.
73
00:12:15.080 –> 00:12:32.000
Stu Turley: and I work with oil and gas firms in the emp space. But I also work in the financial sector, taking a look as a global market perspective
74
00:12:32.000 –> 00:12:41.500
Stu Turley: and helping guide em p operators through the pricing models. taking a look at their their land, their royalties
75
00:12:41.960 –> 00:12:58.680
Stu Turley: checking out the prices, and then getting in, and really taking a look at the real estate market. And we’ve got a real estate little side of the business at Sandstone. We help people with thought leadership.
76
00:12:58.680 –> 00:13:06.500
and it’s about the podcast. And mark your podcast. It’s pretty darn cool that your folks are out there.
77
00:13:06.500 –> 00:13:26.400
Stu Turley: Hats off to you for stepping up to the podcast, and our t and I are actually on 2 podcasts, or or excuse me, he and I are on 1. 3 podcasters walk into a bar, and we talk about the energy space. It is a hoot. But then Rt. Has his
78
00:13:26.400 –> 00:13:39.590
Stu Turley: branded podcast the crude truth. He’s got some great great guests on it as well. So thank you for having us on. We love being a resource for the oil and gas base.
79
00:13:40.380 –> 00:13:41.260
Mark Perlberg: awesome.
8000:13:42.100 –> 00:13:43.030
So
81
00:13:43.750 –> 00:13:46.120
Mark Perlberg: what I want to do here
82
00:13:46.210 –> 00:13:48.100
before we jump into things.
83
00:13:48.730 –> 00:13:51.750
Mark Perlberg: let’s talk about at a very high level.
84
00:13:52.620 –> 00:13:59.710
What? What? This is in the tax advantages? Right? So you and
85
00:13:59.960 –> 00:14:01.930
Mark Perlberg: and what’s interesting here is
86
00:14:02.170 –> 00:14:07.470
Mark Perlberg: you, you, You obviously we’ve heard about solar energy and solar tax credits and some changes in the
87
00:14:07.640 –> 00:14:08.510
this is.
88
00:14:08.580 –> 00:14:21.960
Mark Perlberg: And obviously there are incentives here to encourage environmentally environmental. environmentally friendly things to take place here in our economy. But there’s also tax incentives
89
00:14:22.170 –> 00:14:25.930
Mark Perlberg: to generate energy and supply energy to our country.
9000:14:26.220 –> 00:14:31.800
Mark Perlberg: So you so, even though you wouldn’t think so, there’s still a strong demand and need an incentive
91
00:14:32.050 –> 00:14:40.130
Mark Perlberg: incentives from the Government to encourage energy energy production locally. And this is why we have this. So
92
00:14:40.240 –> 00:14:48.090
Mark Perlberg: to my understanding, and you guys can help refine and correct this as we go along. But at high level here, what’s taking place is
93
00:14:48.270 –> 00:14:50.400
Mark Perlberg: you invest as a partner
94
00:14:50.950 –> 00:15:01.260
Mark Perlberg: into an oil and gas fund, you 90 cents approximately of every dollar you that that you put in as a capital contribution into the partnership
95
00:15:01.400 –> 00:15:08.030
Mark Perlberg: it’s deducted in year, one as in tangible drilling costs. and then
96
00:15:08.300 –> 00:15:12.970
Mark Perlberg: those losses are treated as non-pass, and they can offset your W 2 in code
97
00:15:13.040 –> 00:15:15.130
Mark Perlberg: or Other sources of active income.
98
00:15:15.310 –> 00:15:22.540
Mark Perlberg: unlike other sources of passive income, such as you know. Like if you invest in a syndication, and Don’t have real, say, professional tax status.
99
00:15:22.590 –> 00:15:28.030
Mark Perlberg: Or if you have long-term rentals without real estate, professional tax status, or you don’t materially participate.
10000:15:28.210 –> 00:15:30.480
Mark Perlberg: Those laws are usually suspended.
101
00:15:30.490 –> 00:15:32.580
Mark Perlberg: but these you can deduct
102
00:15:32.950 –> 00:15:38.260
Mark Perlberg: these losses against your active income. But I want you guys to tell me, you know, with you
103
00:15:38.440 –> 00:15:45.400
Mark Perlberg: I want you to help me refine and confirm, and maybe add a little more details to how this works with investing in oil, and G.
104
00:15:48.340 –> 00:16:02.810
Stu Turley: You bet. Hey, our team go ahead and and go, and I can address the more global market on the solar or the other stuff I, as you mentioned in the beginning. But Rt is the oil and gas expert on that one.
105
00:16:02.950 –> 00:16:12.220
Rey Trevino III: Oh, man, what? Yeah, no, You know, there’s so many different tax advantages, and that that come with investing in oil and gas. And more importantly.
106
00:16:12.220 –> 00:16:23.220
Rey Trevino III: you’re investing in the energy of the United States, and that’s a great way to put it. You know that’s actually how we got into the business in the late eighties.
107
00:16:23.220 –> 00:16:33.470
Rey Trevino III: And I say we my father, was that he was basically writing custom software for accounting departments of oil and gas companies.
108
00:16:33.620 –> 00:16:34.580
Rey Trevino III: And
109
00:16:34.640 –> 00:16:43.950
Rey Trevino III: as he began to continue to write code and software. He began to understand a little bit more. Then finally, one day one of the only gas companies invited him out to the field.
11000:16:44.210 –> 00:16:58.380
Rey Trevino III: and they even went into more explanation on why they they, They drew loyal wells, and by the time they got back by that go. So basically you’re telling me I can throw my money in the ground and not give it to Uncle Sam.
111
00:16:58.440 –> 00:17:10.119
Rey Trevino III: And that was when he was hooked. It was like, okay, how can I do this and get this guys at that time? Not anymore. Okay, disclaimer, Not anymore. But back. Then it was actually a 2 for one.
112
00:17:10.160 –> 00:17:24.300
Rey Trevino III: On investing in oil and gas on your taxes, get your capital gains, or any ancillary. You know all your additional revenue that you have. I can’t say those words very well, sorry, and
113
00:17:24.420 –> 00:17:26.510
Rey Trevino III: but what we have noticed is
114
00:17:26.510 –> 00:17:56.500
Rey Trevino III: as as we’ve continued to drill, and every now and then we do an invite individuals to be a part of a project that they’ve been able to ride off a large portion of
their investment against our capital gains, or a a a additional income every year, and not to mention that doesn’t even include the 15% deduction in depreciation or depletion, as we call it every year as well on your actual income that you get no different things.
115
00:17:56.500 –> 00:17:58.400
I’m not thinking real estate is that correct? Mark.
116
00:17:58.410 –> 00:18:00.890
Rey Trevino III: you do get that 15% every year.
117
00:18:01.740 –> 00:18:12.730
Mark Perlberg: Sorry I got a little. The 15% Are you talking about cap games for 15%? Yes, yeah, every year. Yeah. So I mean. So there’s more to it than that. All on the capital games, right?
118
00:18:12.780 –> 00:18:14.320
Rey Trevino III: Okay, then
119
00:18:14.440 –> 00:18:15.550
Rey Trevino III: I got you.
12000:18:15.570 –> 00:18:34.660
Rey Trevino III: But but what? What else is very unique is that as we’ve continued to grow, our our baskets have obviously also grown, and and we’ve got into real estate, and as a smaller operator and emp company, we never don’t really have the wow. We never have the opportunity to really
121
00:18:35.420 –> 00:18:49.100
Rey Trevino III: invest in the big West Texas. Deep oil wells the 10,000 foot wells with a 20,000 foot lateral one, because the leases are so expensive into those drills are so expensive.
122
00:18:49.160 –> 00:19:04.780
Rey Trevino III: But what we’ve been able to do, like many other people is invest in the minerals of these leases, and then we can sell whatever real estate we have and roll that capital gains right back into these minerals that are income, producing
123
00:19:04.780 –> 00:19:24.020
Rey Trevino III: with additional growth, with the the benefits of more growth on these leases, that, as also add to our monthly revenue to where, even though don’t give me wrong, we still have some rental properties. But we don’t have the tnt as much as we used to, and I call tnt tenants and toilets.
124
00:19:24.200 –> 00:19:28.050
Rey Trevino III: So yeah, so we actually we had a client
125
00:19:28.230 –> 00:19:30.600
Mark Perlberg: who did a 1031 exchange
126
00:19:30.620 –> 00:19:38.270
Mark Perlberg: into a land with with with mineral rights. And so this is a great opportunity for clients who have cap game event.
127
00:19:38.280 –> 00:19:51.900
Mark Perlberg: and maybe you know, maybe they don’t want. They can’t find the replacement deal. You know. Some other things that we’ve looked at with clients are obviously qualified opportunities to these zones. Delaware Statutory Trust
128
00:19:51.940 –> 00:20:03.150
Mark Perlberg: might work for some clients, but this is an additional strategy here for for for deferring capital gains indefinitely with a 1031 it’s a Great idea.
129
00:20:05.090 –> 00:20:07.050
Mark Perlberg: Okay, cool. So
13000:20:08.240 –> 00:20:09.650
Mark Perlberg: what I so
131
00:20:10.160 –> 00:20:27.910
Mark Perlberg: we have the tangible drilling cost and and 90 cents per dollars about right right? Once you add everything up basically the the intangible journey costs. Usually you could ride off 80% of that on a working interest project. I mean, you’re investing in a drilling
132
00:20:27.920 –> 00:20:39.870
Rey Trevino III: a drilling project, and so usually you can write off 80 if it’s actually an investment that may be only a 100,000 999,999dollars, and 99 cents.
133
00:20:39.970 –> 00:20:44.970
Rey Trevino III: you could probably even write off the whole $100,000 investment
134
00:20:45.260 –> 00:20:53.960
Rey Trevino III: in the first year. Anything above that, it’s the 80%. But then also you got to include the 15% and appreciation.
135
00:20:53.960 –> 00:21:17.890
Rey Trevino III: So really, you’re looking at almost a 95% ride off on your initial investment. So for example, let’s just say, unfortunately, you’ve got a cash out $250,000 out of an out of a capital G out of out of a real estate deal, and you’ve just got to take the catch. So now you’ve got at least to say $250,000 worth of capital gains tax.
136
00:21:17.890 –> 00:21:32.640
Rey Trevino III: Well, if you were to invest just a 125,000 into a working interest drilling project, you would be able to ride off that full amount against your capital gains and not have to worry about paying taxes on
137
00:21:32.660 –> 00:21:37.740
Rey Trevino III: any amount with a great Cpa like more. Is that correct, mark?
138
00:21:37.750 –> 00:21:44.920
Mark Perlberg: Yeah. And you know also, not only that. But you get your principal back in these capital gains. Events, too, and that principle can be invested
139
00:21:44.970 –> 00:21:49.720
Mark Perlberg: as well to potentially offset your W. 2 or other sources of
14000:21:50.170 –> 00:22:07.510
Mark Perlberg: as well. We have the access business loss limitations as of right now, that’s at 270,000 or $540,000 of a If you have business, lots, limitations, business losses, how much of that can offset maybe your W. To income.
141
00:22:07.570 –> 00:22:14.450
Mark Perlberg: But you can. You can, if you have business income, you can offset all of that business income with business losses.
142
00:22:14.560 –> 00:22:18.050
Mark Perlberg: So lots of cool things here. So so we have.
143
00:22:18.150 –> 00:22:23.880
Mark Perlberg: So the police. How long does it? So we have this, you said 15% depletion
144
00:22:23.930 –> 00:22:37.030
Mark Perlberg: like. So the where tear this lay in the wearing out that, and that’s totally separate deduction from in tangible drilling costs. Correct? Yes, sir, that is correct. Every year. What we offer our our clients is a. Is a K. 9
145
00:22:37.070 –> 00:22:50.250
Rey Trevino III: every year at the end of the year. It shows how much oil they’ve made, how much money they’ve made, and then they can then take that right to Mark, or whoever their Cpa is, and be able to go all right the stock off another 15 this year.
146
00:22:50.290 –> 00:22:55.070
Rey Trevino III: and they can use that against their capital gains as well, or their their income
147
00:22:55.850 –> 00:23:06.540
Mark Perlberg: cool. So, and then let’s so, you know. So obviously this is a great place to put your cash here. You get lots of right, and and you’re going to get these. Write offs in the first year. Correct?
148
00:23:06.710 –> 00:23:07.680
Rey Trevino III: Correct?
149
00:23:07.710 –> 00:23:23.590
Rey Trevino III: Yes, you can get the a lot of these right off to the first year, but also you can prolong them kind of spread them down about about a 7 year window, so you can use them sporadically against that 7 years you can help out if you don’t need them all in year. One
15000:23:23.590 –> 00:23:33.190
Rey Trevino III: and you need a little bit more in your 2, or hey? If you know when you’re 3, you’re gonna do a bunch of stuff. Then, hey? You can, you know, Save a budget for year, 3 as well.
151
00:23:34.720 –> 00:23:35.890
Okay, cool
152
00:23:36.450 –> 00:23:53.400
Stu Turley: and mark just as a side note I I was able to work with several large investors, and on those investors they were also able to hammer out some things on multi faceted deals, and those kind of deals are.
153
00:23:53.400 –> 00:24:13.150
Stu Turley: If you do, a 100% royalty on one side. But then your passive income is coming in. You can then roll money into the Emp side, so the emp operator will. Very. Our Rt. Has that ability
154
00:24:13.150 –> 00:24:28.090
Stu Turley: to take a look and work with you. The the Cpa can understand the difference between the 2, and as profits roll in from one, or depending on how your profits are. It really makes a difference on those.
155
00:24:28.090 –> 00:24:34.730
Stu Turley: So a. And those kind of things roll back in. Did I articulate that correctly?
156
00:24:35.000 –> 00:24:47.010
Rey Trevino III: Rt: Make sure I you got a fact. Check me, Rt: No, no, that sounds excellent. That’s exactly what you can do. Because again, with the minerals it is a passive income more than anything else.
157
00:24:47.010 –> 00:25:08.640
Rey Trevino III: you, you know, just that monthly revenue you get. And then, with the working interest it’s really a a great way to put it is like, hey? That money is really working for you. That’s where the real big tax right offs can come in. That’s also where you’re gonna see the larger returns. As Mark mentioned, we when it comes to a drilling project with working interest.
158
00:25:08.640 –> 00:25:23.410
Rey Trevino III: It’s very often, and you’ll see it very often that you’re gonna see that initial investment back in the first 12 months, and then you still got another 29 years worth of revenue stream coming in from that initial investment.
159
00:25:23.410 –> 00:25:40.500
Rey Trevino III: and then you can then reinvest your whatever it is that you started with, or you can just reapply to somewhere else with the minerals. That one’s also very unique, because again, it may last even more than 30 years. For an example, let’s use West Texas
16000:25:40.500 –> 00:25:59.960
Rey Trevino III: in the 19 fifties. If you bought minerals in the 1950 S. We were drill well that 5,000 feet or less, and you will probably own the minerals to the core of the earth. So then let’s ramp up to the eighties the late seventies early eighties, when we were drilling back at about 7,000 feet.
161
00:26:00.110 –> 00:26:12.960
Rey Trevino III: and then. Now we’re drilling 10,000 feet and horizontal and deeper. So that’s a that’s in the revenue stream that you’re getting basically every 1015 years. Another real big chunk of cash
162
00:26:12.960 –> 00:26:27.240
Rey Trevino III: flow starts coming again, and so that can add, You know. Goodness, there, there, there’s people that have been now getting revenue checks for 50 years out in in West Texas, on minerals and royalties. And so that’s another great thing right there
163
00:26:27.340 –> 00:26:37.560
Stu Turley: more a. X Rt. Excellent point. And here’s why my great uncle, my great great uncle bought royalties.
164
00:26:37.680 –> 00:26:40.090
Stu Turley: They’re still coming in
165
00:26:40.460 –> 00:26:53.450
Stu Turley: great great uncle. For about 80 years they did not get any leases, nothing. And then, all of a sudden the leases started coming in, and the passive incomes coming in.
166
00:26:53.450 –> 00:27:03.210
So that’s pretty cool. Rt: You just nailed that one right there, and I’ve I’ve got a real world example on that for my great uncle, as has been kind of a surprise
167
00:27:04.250 –> 00:27:09.480
Mark Perlberg: awesome. So I see some comes. Questions. Come in, and what you guys keep asking these questions
168
00:27:09.620 –> 00:27:15.790
Mark Perlberg: because we’re gonna go into bringing down the numbers and giving breaking into some scenarios that a little bit.
169
00:27:17.210 –> 00:27:21.260
Mark Perlberg: But yeah, these are these? These are all already. This is already like
17000:27:21.310 –> 00:27:24.430
Mark Perlberg: some wonderful stuff that we wanted to.
171
00:27:25.910 –> 00:27:35.260
Mark Perlberg: So to illustrate the the profitability, cash flow and the the the tax savings here for for our clients and for just
172
00:27:35.440 –> 00:27:37.330
Mark Perlberg: general investors here.
173
00:27:37.750 –> 00:27:38.570
Mark Perlberg: Now.
174
00:27:39.640 –> 00:27:46.290
Mark Perlberg: the most common question I get on this when I mentioned this topic. and you probably can guess what that is.
175
00:27:46.620 –> 00:27:50.380
Rey Trevino III: What if there’s no oil in gas?
176
00:27:50.560 –> 00:27:56.240
Mark Perlberg: How do I know that we’re gonna get a return on investment here? How do I know that we’re not just gonna buy?
177
00:27:56.280 –> 00:27:58.180
Mark Perlberg: We have a piece of land
178
00:27:58.240 –> 00:27:59.410
Mark Perlberg: that just
179
00:27:59.830 –> 00:28:11.890
Mark Perlberg: it doesn’t produce anything, and it’s a total failure. How how do you respond to to someone who asks that type of question? Can I? Can I jump out on the first part of this, and and then i’ll turn it back over to you.
18000:28:11.930 –> 00:28:20.620
Stu Turley: Mark. That is an absolutely wonderful question, and not all emp operators are
181
00:28:22.980 –> 00:28:37.480
Stu Turley: a and royalty operators are have the same deal, and that’s one of the assets that sandstone has been able to do is we have assets that we can look at all the offsetting wells.
182
00:28:37.620 –> 00:28:48.180
Stu Turley: The entire area. We have tools of being able to look at how far, how deep, what the expectations are. As Rt. Mentioned, some of those wells.
183
00:28:48.510 –> 00:29:00.680
Stu Turley: 1520,000,000 30 milliondollars in order to drill those. The other side of that is looking at emp operators that are already working existing wells.
184
00:29:00.690 –> 00:29:13.640
Stu Turley: They’re improving those wells. We can also look at those emp operators, and we can take a look at what is going on in the formations.
185
00:29:14.580 –> 00:29:21.930
I mean, you may have different formations that are like the San Andreas. You have the ones up in the
186
00:29:21.950 –> 00:29:39.630
Stu Turley: You take a look at the Dj. Up in Colorado, and where do you have also the regulations going on. So we know a lot of those kind of things going on. We turn away emp operators because we look at their land.
187
00:29:39.770 –> 00:29:59.420
Stu Turley: We are very careful at signing an nda, because we don’t want to sign an nda when we work with oil companies on their data rooms, because what happens if another emp operator comes up to us and says, oh, by the way, we want you to work in this field. But we’ve already got an nda with somebody else.
188
00:29:59.420 –> 00:30:18.730
Stu Turley: So even before we sign an nda, or we work with an emp operator to look at whether or not it’s got investment, whether or not it’s got the field play, whether or not it’s got oil, natural gas, how long the depletion curve is, and then we work with the investor
189
00:30:18.730 –> 00:30:24.570
Stu Turley: and the emp operator, and we’re very selective on the Mp. Operator
19000:30:24.600 –> 00:30:33.990
Stu Turley: and in Sandstone’s case Pecos operating is one of those few that we work with because of the fields
191
00:30:34.040 –> 00:30:50.720
Stu Turley: and what we’ve seen with the Esg. As well as their history of being able to produce those things so very, very, not all emp and not all royalty deals Mark, are a good investment.
192
00:30:50.720 –> 00:30:56.960
Stu Turley: I think real estate has that same kind of thing, and that is location, location, location.
193
00:30:57.000 –> 00:31:10.000
Stu Turley: And then I think yesterday on Maria Bartolomo show I love Maria. And she said that I believe it was. And again, mark you’ll have to fact fact, check me
194
00:31:10.440 –> 00:31:21.870
Stu Turley: like 50. I’m throwing this number out. 50% of New York City and 50% of San Francisco office space is 50 is vacant.
195
00:31:22.070 –> 00:31:36.010
Stu Turley: and so we are also hearing from other investors. My 1031 exchange is going nuts with people asking those questions and it’s. It’s coming in from
196
00:31:36.010 –> 00:31:42.210
Stu Turley: office real estate. It’s coming in from, You know these kind of things. They’re wanting to get out of that.
197
00:31:42.380 –> 00:31:52.270
Stu Turley: and it’s for that very reason. So the best thing that we can can give advice is, it is about the field
198
00:31:52.470 –> 00:32:06.380
Stu Turley: it’s about the history. It’s about the formation, and it’s about 100%. More. Importantly, the emp operator, exploration and production operator. So Rt: I hope. I didn’t like step on your toes on that.
199
00:32:06.680 –> 00:32:17.020
Rey Trevino III: Well, no, no, thank you very much for the kind of words there’s to, you know. First and foremost we are again, like I already. and in an individuals on.
20000:32:17.080 –> 00:32:34.330
Rey Trevino III: or a family company, and so we don’t make a dollar unless we’re producing oil. And so that is the number. One thing that we do we have to do that is, step. One is, is this going to be a product? It it will this be profitable for us?
201
00:32:34.330 –> 00:32:55.350
Rey Trevino III: And so, in order for it to be possible for us, then it obviously then, will be profitable for anybody else. That’s in the project with us. Because, hey, if you, if if you’re making a dollar with us, we’d like to thank you best. Another dollar. And so you know, first of all, first and foremost can. And can you find a well, or can you drill well with no
202
00:32:55.350 –> 00:32:57.090
Rey Trevino III: oil in it. Yes.
203
00:32:57.830 –> 00:33:10.810
Rey Trevino III: if that’s the case, then you get a 100 tax, write off on your investment towards your capital gains or ancillary benefits. Sometimes you literally have individuals that need just the tax right off
204
00:33:10.870 –> 00:33:26.160
Rey Trevino III: rather than the headache of adding more revenue every month, which you know it’s not really the headache of adding more revenue. It’s just now. You got more paperwork, and you’re going to pay Mark more money because he’s got to go ahead and find more ways to to to country taxes.
205
00:33:26.210 –> 00:33:36.020
Rey Trevino III: However, it is 2023, and science is there. It is not really more it’s not no longer about.
206
00:33:36.020 –> 00:34:04.600
Rey Trevino III: If this well is gonna produce it’s how it’s going to produce. We can drill in areas that we know that we have oil and we will sha be able to drill those wells. It’s about getting the oil out of the ground more this these days, major, than is is the oil in the ground. The shell boom of 2,008, and the fracking has really changed the game. And now we have so many different ways of of of producing oil. We’re literally now going into rock.
207
00:34:04.870 –> 00:34:24.739
Rey Trevino III: cracking open rock and extracting the hydrocarbons now from a rock, rather than hitting these pools of of oil down in the ground that that, you know have naturally been created, and naturally head the way up so so. No, yes, you can still get the right off, even if you
208
00:34:24.739 –> 00:34:39.780
Rey Trevino III: don’t hitting the oil. However, that’s not the goal, and that’s not the way we see things, and and a lot less dry holes these days, so to speak. Mark. So good question, Gotcha, would you? Would you ever be able to produce data?
209
00:34:39.860 –> 00:34:45.469
Mark Perlberg: This shows the probability. you know, in some sort of
21000:34:45.480 –> 00:34:48.350
Mark Perlberg: statistics showing the probability
211
00:34:49.850 –> 00:35:07.800
Mark Perlberg: and the like. The probability that you’re going to You’re going to hit the oil. Is there something that you can? You can, and it’s not like a. What we use is, we have our geologists. We have our geology on team, and basically we go out. We study the rocks. We may even do seismic.
212
00:35:07.800 –> 00:35:17.850
Rey Trevino III: and we’ll come back with what’s called permeability, and that’s Where? Okay are the rocks permeable enough to have the oil in there, and it it needs to be within a
213
00:35:17.850 –> 00:35:32.250
Rey Trevino III: a certain amount of permeability. And so in that way. Yes, there is data, and we do trust the data. Our geologist is found over a 1 billion oils, a bit of oil in his time, and that’s right. That’s where the beat
214
00:35:32.250 –> 00:35:45.650
Rey Trevino III: Now, Has he shown some other areas in this time absolutely. But if my father’s always said he’ll say, if I had all the money that I lost in all my investments, I wouldn’t have all the money that I have today.
215
00:35:45.850 –> 00:35:54.740
Rey Trevino III: so you know, even even the good ones get it wrong every now and then, however. Yes, so we do all our due diligence. We have well logs that we look at.
216
00:35:54.740 –> 00:36:11.470
Rey Trevino III: We have existing production in the area that we look at, to really analyze, to make sure that in the areas that we’re drilling and producing oil, we can produce it long term. Because, again, mark you, said it earlier, these wells, a single well can’t produce oil
217
00:36:11.490 –> 00:36:14.820
Rey Trevino III: for 30 years and the same. So
218
00:36:14.940 –> 00:36:26.510
Rey Trevino III: so for anybody out there that I know you all are. I don’t know exactly where everybody’s at. But you know, up in the Marcellus you have the Marcella shell, which is just one rock zone down at a certain level.
219
00:36:26.520 –> 00:36:46.240
Rey Trevino III: so that means that one level will be able to produce for 30 years in West Texas. As I mentioned, we had zones that produced it 1950 for 30 years zones at at 7,000 for 30 years. So that is the goal here, and that’s where the long term comes into play on any type of oil and gas investment
22000:36:46.620 –> 00:36:55.860
Mark Perlberg: awesome. And what do you say to a prospective investor here when they say, okay, I want to do this. What can I look at
221
00:36:56.240 –> 00:36:57.320
Mark Perlberg: to see
222
00:36:57.360 –> 00:36:59.350
Mark Perlberg: where my money is going to go.
223
00:36:59.400 –> 00:37:14.730
Mark Perlberg: and what I would expect, what what kind of so do you? What? I guess that you guys have for different investments. You have packages, and what kind of information do you probably provide to those prospective investors who probably know a lot less than you about all.
224
00:37:14.770 –> 00:37:19.770
Mark Perlberg: all the value in and all the data, and in in all the science.
225
00:37:20.100 –> 00:37:28.470
Rey Trevino III: Yes, no, every deal is different. First and foremost, every well is different. However, you know, if we put together a minerals package.
226
00:37:28.740 –> 00:37:57.030
Rey Trevino III: then that date is going to be different than a working interest package. But again, a lot of it still is also the same which is, hey, here the wells that are drilled in the area. Here’s what those wells are doing. This is what we anticipate these wells are going to do. And here’s our estimated monthly revenue that we’re going to go. And here’s our asleep. Our monthly estimated operational cost as well, because just like any type of a real estate, you do have to maintain and do maintenance every month.
227
00:37:58.020 –> 00:38:05.220
Mark Perlberg: Great. Okay. So let’s let’s dive into the numbers now, which is probably what a lot of my counting audiences
228
00:38:05.250 –> 00:38:07.880
Mark Perlberg: has been waiting for us to talk about here.
229
00:38:08.150 –> 00:38:09.710
Mark Perlberg: And so
23000:38:09.960 –> 00:38:18.050
Mark Perlberg: first. So we we talk about. Let’s first talk about with the the working interest here. Right? So this is where we get that.
231
00:38:18.110 –> 00:38:24.890
Mark Perlberg: This is probably the one that is the most shiny object per clients, because we’ll get that in tangible drilling costs deduction here.
232
00:38:25.140 –> 00:38:35.650
Mark Perlberg: So in year one, we let’s say, let’s say a 100,000 keep things simple Here, $100,000. Let’s use a 30% tax right here.
233
00:38:36.280 –> 00:38:41.030
Mark Perlberg: Put a $100,000 in right. It looks like we’ll we’ll like in year one
234
00:38:41.130 –> 00:38:45.180
Mark Perlberg: you’ll get the intangible drilling cost deduction of.
235
00:38:45.430 –> 00:38:50.350
Mark Perlberg: Let’s say, approx. I think we said, we can say approximately 80,000.
Give or take.
236
00:38:51.070 –> 00:38:57.700
Mark Perlberg: We get an $80,000 tax deduction, so that’s a $24,000 tax savings right
237
00:38:57.770 –> 00:38:58.480
Rey Trevino III: right
238
00:38:58.930 –> 00:39:05.900
Mark Perlberg: How long before the the investment starts to produce cash flow.
239
00:39:07.050 –> 00:39:13.370
Rey Trevino III: Well, that’s a great question. It depends, for an example of. We just have one
24000:39:13.460 –> 00:39:24.500
Rey Trevino III: project that we have, and we put in a actually a someone else that that Mark may know, and it we just package up something it’s already producing.
241
00:39:24.650 –> 00:39:39.580
Rey Trevino III: And we’re he’s on pace already just at current production levels for 25% return, and that doesn’t include, adding 10 more wells to this, to these leases. Yes, and
242
00:39:39.900 –> 00:39:58.700
Rey Trevino III: everyone is different. For an example, I’ve got another one right now. That hopefully will. Also, you know, we’ll also be at about an average 25% on a $100,000 investment itself. And then we’re gonna add even 4 more wealth to that. But these 4 more wells are going to produce
243
00:39:58.730 –> 00:40:13.040
Rey Trevino III: somewhere between 200 to 400 barrels of oil combined, and that third percentage. There they will see probably 100% investment back in the next 18 months. Then everything after that would be pure cash flow.
244
00:40:13.260 –> 00:40:17.790
Mark Perlberg: So what we’re what i’m wondering here now this is for the
245
00:40:17.930 –> 00:40:27.390
Mark Perlberg: there’s 2 types of investment. So we’re we’re talking about. We have the land with the mineral right, and then we have the company there doing the drilling
246
00:40:27.460 –> 00:40:41.900
Mark Perlberg: when we talk. I think that you were talking about earlier. These are the are. That’s the type of returns we get when we have the land with the mineral rights correct? No, no, this is on the working interest side. I’m sorry.
247
00:40:42.090 –> 00:40:49.840
Mark Perlberg: So these are fantastic returns. And what about return of the capital contribution, or is there.
248
00:40:49.920 –> 00:41:00.010
Mark Perlberg: you know. So I I how much of this cast it returns to the investors. It’s just a return of their capital contribution. How much of it is their share of profit?
249
00:41:00.510 –> 00:41:07.800
Rey Trevino III: Well, every everything is, you know. Again, every project is different, because you’re you’re awarded working interest.
25000:41:08.030 –> 00:41:20.340
Rey Trevino III: So if if i’m if i’m answering the question correctly, basically you know you, you write it. You write a check for a $100,000 you invest in in this drilling venture. That might be
251
00:41:20.340 –> 00:41:29.420
Rey Trevino III: 4 or 5 wells, and the plan is, and the idea is that you would get your $100,000 investment back in the first 12 months.
252
00:41:30.130 –> 00:41:49.180
Rey Trevino III: Okay? And then at the end of the year you get a K. 9. That shows how many barrels of oil was produced, what percentage of that was yours, and then how much money you made it, so that you can then do your your taxes to get your depletion a depreciation. And then, after that, everything else is just straight cash form.
253
00:41:49.420 –> 00:41:55.550
Mark Perlberg: and by what I think what you mean, here is the depletion of the the well correct, yes.
254
00:41:55.580 –> 00:41:56.990
awesome, fantastic.
255
00:41:57.420 –> 00:41:59.610
Mark Perlberg: And so what kind of
256
00:41:59.660 –> 00:42:03.780
Mark Perlberg: as far as a range here? What what do we see? As far as
257
00:42:03.960 –> 00:42:11.100
Mark Perlberg: so you know, it would be fantastic to get 100% of your your cash back in 12 months under the right investment vehicle.
258
00:42:11.120 –> 00:42:13.990
Mark Perlberg: What kind of what kind of rains
259
00:42:14.340 –> 00:42:17.360
Mark Perlberg: can investors expect to see here, as far
26000:42:17.430 –> 00:42:18.680
Mark Perlberg: as a
261
00:42:18.790 –> 00:42:22.680
what they’re going to get back. As for cash and cash out
262
00:42:23.130 –> 00:42:41.960
Rey Trevino III: right well of everybody that you know that that we’ve done projects with. They’ve all seen their initial invest in back. The timeframe just may may not be 12 months. It may be 8 months, or it may be 19 months. We, you know it just depends on on how the the the low wells do.
263
00:42:41.960 –> 00:43:01.520
Rey Trevino III: and and and go from there right now. We’re looking at with the the several projects that the most recent few projects that we did in 2,022, we average of just under a 50% annual return. Of that 22 2,020 we we’ve average just under a 50% return every year on that investment since 2,020.
264
00:43:02.630 –> 00:43:03.290
Wow!
265
00:43:03.320 –> 00:43:17.820
Mark Perlberg: And so are we seeing similar roi’s from the land that rents the mineral rights to the companies as we are seeing from the work, investing in the working interest, where you get the and tangible drilling costs.
266
00:43:17.860 –> 00:43:22.740
Mark Perlberg: How how do you? How does the the cash flow. Compare between those 2 vehicles
267
00:43:23.060 –> 00:43:32.540
Rey Trevino III: Great question. The cash flow definitely. Still on a monthly basis. You get your revenue, check your your income, check every month. But no.
268
00:43:32.540 –> 00:43:45.020
Rey Trevino III: the minerals is not quite as aggressive as the working interest again in the working interest. Still, everyone you are the one that’s actually doing all the work.
269
00:43:45.020 –> 00:43:54.750
Rey Trevino III: So you get a bigger piece of the pot generally this day and age, working interest and landowners split 100%,
27000:43:54.950 –> 00:44:13.140
Rey Trevino III: However, 25% right off the top goes to the landowner, and then 75% goes towards the operator and their group that invests. So that means that 75% pays 100% of the operating costs, while the mineral owner.
271
00:44:13.140 –> 00:44:23.960
Rey Trevino III: who has 25% other than paying the normal state taxes has no additional additional monthly costs, but they also have no control over
272
00:44:24.040 –> 00:44:43.660
Rey Trevino III: how many wells are drilled, and so on, and that’s why, when we’re looking at minerals, we like to find minerals and invest in minerals that have a Pv. 6, you
know, hopefully at least some money back in 6 years or less at current production, but also has permits
273
00:44:43.660 –> 00:45:00.830
Rey Trevino III: and wells ready to be drilled for additional revenue. So, for an example, if one well, if one mineral lease is already Dr. Producing out of 5 wells, and it’s already doing 25% average return on your investment.
274
00:45:00.850 –> 00:45:06.060
Rey Trevino III: And it shows that they’re gonna drill 10 more. Wells over the next 10 months
275
00:45:06.080 –> 00:45:09.720
Rey Trevino III: you could see a large
276
00:45:09.750 –> 00:45:30.430
Rey Trevino III: increase in your production at the end of that 8, 8, 10 months. That then adds that revenue stream, and You’re not paying the drilling cost. You’re not paying to drill the well you’re not paying to for the guy to come there. You’re it’s as if you were just the one that gets that revenue check every month because they drill down into the minerals that you own.
277
00:45:31.000 –> 00:45:32.820
Mark Perlberg: Yeah, so we just
278
00:45:33.740 –> 00:45:37.850
Mark Perlberg: I mean, it really looks like the you know, fantastic
279
00:45:37.950 –> 00:45:40.680
Mark Perlberg: here. Now, what’s interesting here is.
28000:45:41.040 –> 00:45:50.680
Mark Perlberg: and while you don’t get the intangible drilling cost seduction when you invest in the land with the mineral rights. Do you own the lander to the mineral rights, or vote
281
00:45:50.810 –> 00:46:01.380
Rey Trevino III: you own just the minerals, you know. Here, you know, although great question. Mark the land. The surface can be owned by somebody else, and you can then own the minerals below that
282
00:46:01.440 –> 00:46:10.980
Mark Perlberg: Gotcha. Okay, great. So you own these the minerals to this plot of land.
Right? And what’s interesting here is, even though you don’t get those costs.
283
00:46:10.990 –> 00:46:13.490
Mark Perlberg: The the intangible drilling cost flowing
284
00:46:13.600 –> 00:46:15.240
your your personal return.
285
00:46:15.680 –> 00:46:17.410
Mark Perlberg: This is good. They’re gonna
286
00:46:17.970 –> 00:46:26.700
Mark Perlberg: They’re going to rent out more and more, these of these spaces and profitability should increase over time, right? So it’s going to increase in value as an asset like real estate
287
00:46:26.890 –> 00:46:30.690
Mark Perlberg: correct. If you decide to exit, you could sell at a profit
288
00:46:31.470 –> 00:46:46.330
Rey Trevino III: absolutely. If you decide to exit. You can sell it a profit. And so, for example, back to my, you know, drilling 10 additional wells. You buy it, and we’ll use a $100,000, or you buy that $100,000 with 5 wells producing.
289
00:46:46.330 –> 00:47:03.540
Rey Trevino III: and it’s now it’s now producing with 5 additional wells, and you go. You know what I want 300,000 for You’ve earned all this revenue monthly revenue during this timeframe. You sell it for 300,000, and those guys still have an upside of another 5 to 10 wells on it themselves.
29000:47:04.140 –> 00:47:11.560
Mark Perlberg: and you can invest with your retirement accounts as well. Invest with the Roth Ira. Pay no taxes on it. Right? Yes, yes, you can.
291
00:47:11.670 –> 00:47:15.560
Rey Trevino III: Yes, you you sure can I? I have not done any like that.
292
00:47:15.610 –> 00:47:26.540
Mark Perlberg: But but you sure can do that. Yes, sir. Yeah. So let’s talk about. So I’m going to go into the audience here that’s gonna help us with solidifying our understanding here.
293
00:47:28.080 –> 00:47:29.880
Mark Perlberg: So if you have
294
00:47:29.990 –> 00:47:32.710
Mark Perlberg: a $200,000 of cash.
295
00:47:33.120 –> 00:47:38.020
Mark Perlberg: and which is, let’s say, your marginal tax rate here is
296
00:47:38.270 –> 00:47:39.970
40 right?
297
00:47:40.550 –> 00:47:48.020
Mark Perlberg: So this means that you’re going to get an 808080800000f tax savings in year one.
298
00:47:48.190 –> 00:47:51.350
Mark Perlberg: and you have a remaining
299
00:47:51.360 –> 00:47:59.760
Mark Perlberg: the of $120,000 left that you’ve invested into an oil and got it working interest here.
30000:47:59.970 –> 00:48:02.950
Rey Trevino III: Okay. that was the question that
301
00:48:03.040 –> 00:48:03.960
Mark Perlberg: I guess
302
00:48:04.090 –> 00:48:17.900
Mark Perlberg: I guess you work. Can you confirm this, and then so you have 120,000. So okay, I see the question here. Sorry. So if I invest $200,000 in oil and gas, and I don’t have to.
303
00:48:18.370 –> 00:48:36.150
Mark Perlberg: I don’t have to pay $80,000 in taxes. You have the 80,000 savings. How do I get the remaining 120,000 of my capital contribution that I has not generated. Tax. You know. Net of tax savings. How does that come back to me, and I believe the answer here is going to be
304
00:48:36.150 –> 00:48:38.410
Mark Perlberg: in the form of the cash flow of the investment.
305
00:48:39.380 –> 00:48:49.750
Rey Trevino III: Yes, that’s correct. So you would get in the form of the the cash flow and the investment. So then, and then let’s talk that so? Yes, that’d be $80,000 that you could ride off.
306
00:48:50.130 –> 00:48:58.550
Rey Trevino III: and then, let’s say, just for easy argument. Sakes, you get your full 200,000 back in the first 12 months.
307
00:48:58.590 –> 00:49:09.040
Rey Trevino III: and it’s a perfect January and February. So then you can then take another 15. So that would be another $30,000. Is that correct?
308
00:49:09.290 –> 00:49:11.180
Rey Trevino III: 15% of 200,000,
309
00:49:12.340 –> 00:49:22.230
Rey Trevino III: and so then that you’re at 110,000 that you can write off. So now you only have to worry about 90,000. But again
31000:49:22.730 –> 00:49:24.020
Rey Trevino III: your
311
00:49:24.490 –> 00:49:31.990
Rey Trevino III: your cash flow is already back to you. So really, now you’re looking at less than a 100,000 that you would have to
312
00:49:32.070 –> 00:49:34.440
Rey Trevino III: do with with the Cpa and deal with.
313
00:49:34.640 –> 00:49:44.090
Mark Perlberg: Okay, so i’m going to get out. So i’m trying to read the questions and talk to you at the same time. Here I have my cell sheet out some calculations here. So
314
00:49:44.130 –> 00:49:46.650
Mark Perlberg: $200,000 here to invest.
315
00:49:47.380 –> 00:49:48.160
Okay.
316
00:49:48.420 –> 00:49:49.330
Mark Perlberg: and
317
00:49:49.990 –> 00:49:59.520
Mark Perlberg: let’s say, 80% is our intangible drilling cost. So we get a deduction here of a $160,000 deduction.
318
00:50:00.110 –> 00:50:04.040
Mark Perlberg: And let’s say we’re at the 40%.
319
00:50:04.120 –> 00:50:09.530
Mark Perlberg: See in Federal net of combined tax right here so a lot.
32000:50:10.640 –> 00:50:15.320
Mark Perlberg: So yeah. So some of our clients and audiences make a decent amount of money here.
321
00:50:15.390 –> 00:50:24.520
Mark Perlberg: So we get 64,000 coming back to us in year, one in the form of tax savings. So that remains
322
00:50:24.830 –> 00:50:28.840
Mark Perlberg: disregarding cash flow. We have
323
00:50:31.240 –> 00:50:36.760
Mark Perlberg: after taxes we really only invested $136,000.
324
00:50:37.130 –> 00:50:44.480
Mark Perlberg: So now what we want to see here is, we want to see at least $136,000 coming back to us, and if we can get
325
00:50:44.520 –> 00:50:47.080
Mark Perlberg: all $200,000 coming back.
326
00:50:47.530 –> 00:50:50.300
Mark Perlberg: then we have a nice little win there.
327
00:50:50.400 –> 00:50:51.500
Rey Trevino III: Correct
328
00:50:51.580 –> 00:51:00.010
Rey Trevino III: A, and that’s where my father saw it years ago was so you’re telling me I can write this off, and even with a dry whole.
329
00:51:00.210 –> 00:51:04.910
Rey Trevino III: i’m still winning against my capital gains in my taxes at the end of the year.
33000:51:05.200 –> 00:51:17.880
Rey Trevino III: And so that’s where again you get a lot of individuals with high net worth going. Yeah. Oh, especially in the go in in the October November season going. I’ve got a lot of taxes.
331
00:51:17.880 –> 00:51:36.210
Rey Trevino III: I need to go invest in some, some some oil and gas, so I can bring that down at the end of the year. Then boom! It’s in the next year they’ve made. You know their money back, and they got to do it again. And but no, that’s exactly Mark. Why, why we do it. And what more importantly, why my father got into it was like, hey.
332
00:51:36.210 –> 00:51:43.620
Rey Trevino III: there are so many benefits just for the tax savings alone to to go ahead and invest in American interview.
333
00:51:44.030 –> 00:51:55.700
Mark Perlberg: and and also some of that cash flow is going to be offset by the the depletion deduction, I believe, or there’s other paper losses that potentially can
334
00:51:56.560 –> 00:52:15.500
Mark Perlberg: or incorrect me if i’m wrong. But to my understanding. There are also deductions that will offset some of this cash flow. Yes, that’s right. Out of that 136 we are. We didn’t even take into account the 15%, the the the appreciation as well that he could that that they can to do with that 200,000
335
00:52:16.940 –> 00:52:18.650
Mark Perlberg: awesome. Now
336
00:52:18.980 –> 00:52:23.710
Mark Perlberg: I believe that investors have to be accredited in this situation, correct
337
00:52:23.760 –> 00:52:31.900
Rey Trevino III: in most cases absolutely. We definitely recommend that, however, you can invest.
338
00:52:31.920 –> 00:52:36.910
Rey Trevino III: and with as being a non accredited investor, you just have to basically
339
00:52:37.000 –> 00:52:50.730
Mark Perlberg: sign a lot of paperwork that says, hey, this is not my life savings, and I will not go broke If I make this investment.
34000:52:50.760 –> 00:52:52.520
Mark Perlberg: Can I make you a live guess?
341
00:52:55.570 –> 00:52:57.140
Mark Perlberg: I’m going to see if we can.
342
00:52:57.240 –> 00:53:04.340
Stu Turley: because we’re getting lots of questions here. Yeah, John’s really asking some good questions. By the way, John, I want to give you a shout out.
343
00:53:05.140 –> 00:53:06.000
and
344
00:53:06.220 –> 00:53:10.690
Mark Perlberg: here we go. I’m gonna put John on, see if he can talk to us.
345
00:53:10.710 –> 00:53:11.740
John Drawdy: Can you hear me?
346
00:53:11.880 –> 00:53:17.230
John Drawdy: Yeah. Okay. So yeah, I got good questions because I want to mark Cpa:
friends.
347
00:53:17.440 –> 00:53:30.820
John Drawdy: Yeah, I I don’t really do taxes anymore, but my, my, my team does them. But I, you know I have a little bit of background in it. And so, you know these are the questions that most Cpas would be asking. I know
348
00:53:30.960 –> 00:53:33.660
John Drawdy: Marcus had covered some of these
349
00:53:33.850 –> 00:53:38.680
John Drawdy: that I had asked. I asked before he had covered him. But
35000:53:39.010 –> 00:53:39.890
John Drawdy: so
351
00:53:40.220 –> 00:53:45.090
John Drawdy: always, you know, credit investor, that was one up. What’s the minimum investment
352
00:53:46.120 –> 00:54:02.000
Rey Trevino III: we usually for us? We usually like to try to stay at that $100,000 mark or more. We have made exceptions in the past, especially to get the some individuals toes. What if if if you will.
353
00:54:02.050 –> 00:54:14.060
Rey Trevino III: But i’d like to think, maybe with those individuals with Mark. Maybe they can vouch that, hey? You know everything’s. hey? Okay, cause cause we normally don’t do something
354
00:54:14.130 –> 00:54:18.310
Rey Trevino III: I like that. But so usually a 100,000. John, is what we like to try to start with.
355
00:54:18.690 –> 00:54:22.940
John Drawdy: and and and John, if I may excuse me, interrupt. There is a reason
356
00:54:22.970 –> 00:54:42.520
Stu Turley: that our ray has to do that, and that is because in a non and credited and Rt. Fact check me, always need that global fact check. And that is, there’s I think it’s a Scc. Regulation of only 38
357
00:54:42.520 –> 00:54:56.200
Stu Turley: non accredited investors and some kind of investment. There is a certain number, but there you can do a lot more in credited investors, and I’ve seen that in some of the larger fields
358
00:54:56.200 –> 00:55:08.310
Stu Turley: that it is a brutal process. So the answer Rt. Gave was absolutely, or Ray absolutely Ray, if you want to. Fact, check me.
359
00:55:09.880 –> 00:55:20.490
Rey Trevino III: But yeah, so we usually try to like to get people start out with a 100,000 plus. You really kind of could see, you know where your money is going, and you can really see a good
36000:55:20.510 –> 00:55:27.000
Rey Trevino III: return on your investment and good against your capital gains that didn’t deal with your taxes.
361
00:55:27.300 –> 00:55:27.900
Okay.
362
00:55:28.920 –> 00:55:32.280
John Drawdy: yeah it. I I do know there is some type of
363
00:55:33.500 –> 00:55:45.930
John Drawdy: maximum number of investors. I I’ve done some conservation Eastern in the past. I know they have that limitation. Sometimes I get a big influx of broker money, though at one time, and and they’ll be able to take smaller
364
00:55:46.050 –> 00:55:54.320
John Drawdy: chunks for for other people because of those huge numbers. So you just ask another question about conservation. These mess.
365
00:55:54.570 –> 00:55:59.340
John Drawdy: you know. That’s always been a very, you know a lot about it, but Irs hates them.
366
00:55:59.380 –> 00:56:16.000
John Drawdy: and they try to come after people, and I I’ve been doing them, and I’m just sitting. I just put a little bit of extra money in the bank account in case I want to pay some taxes, but with oil and gas is this is this something that the Irs targets in any way, or doesn’t like, or scrutinizes.
367
00:56:18.890 –> 00:56:20.190
Rey Trevino III: Yes.
368
00:56:20.480 –> 00:56:29.240
Rey Trevino III: the the the I. DC. The intent was running costs. I know President Biden talked about it just several months ago.
369
00:56:29.440 –> 00:56:41.000
Rey Trevino III: taking it away again. It used to be 2 for one. So. But if they do that, then they’re gonna have to. Then look at ways to do this for other
37000:56:41.240 –> 00:56:54.620
Rey Trevino III: ways of energy as well. So it’s not going to go anywhere that would really mess up a lot of his donors taxes at the end of the year as Well, so it’s not going to go away.
371
00:56:55.290 –> 00:57:03.450
John Drawdy: Yeah, it is a good talk. It’s a good talking point until enough Congressmen and senators from Texas and all has starts talking with the lobby. Right?
372
00:57:03.480 –> 00:57:21.560
Rey Trevino III: Correct. In fact, John, I don’t know where you’re at, but here in a house mil 20. I’m looking something up here in Texas we’re working on a new house bill called 2056, and it’s called re-stimulation of marginal wells.
373
00:57:21.660 –> 00:57:26.370
Rey Trevino III: and we’re working on a way now to where you can get tax deductions
374
00:57:26.370 –> 00:57:46.960
Rey Trevino III: on going back to existing wells, and instead of just the new well here in Texas to work on that, and we’re helping put that across. We’ll see if it gets there. Maybe not the first one. But I do think it’s something that’ll help stimulate economies of the smaller cities where a lot of older wells still produce today.
375
00:57:47.480 –> 00:57:48.210
John Drawdy: Cool.
376
00:57:48.840 –> 00:57:51.760
John Drawdy: alright, the last thing I had
377
00:57:51.880 –> 00:58:08.510
John Drawdy: I just assume that the the income that the monthly dividends going forward, is it’s going to be passive income? And I’ll? I’ll say that that’s probably pretty good for real estate investors, because they probably have a lot of passive losses from depreciation and things. So even when they get that monthly cash flow.
378
00:58:08.510 –> 00:58:18.270
John Drawdy: it’s just going to be offset by this passive losses. They may have been building up over the years, so they might not to pay taxes. So if I correct it’s massive. Yes, that is correct. It is passive.
379
00:58:18.460 –> 00:58:19.250
John Drawdy: Cool.
38000:58:20.260 –> 00:58:21.530
John Drawdy: that’s all my questions.
381
00:58:21.700 –> 00:58:26.340
Mark Perlberg: Awesome. Yeah, John, thanks for giving us your questions here.
382
00:58:26.410 –> 00:58:28.770
Mark Perlberg: So in your your curiosity. Now
383
00:58:28.830 –> 00:58:32.050
Mark Perlberg: this is because here’s an awesome idea, for let’s say
384
00:58:32.260 –> 00:58:38.330
Mark Perlberg: we. You know we’re always looking for ways to reduce our clients taxes, and if you’re a W 2
385
00:58:38.380 –> 00:58:44.320
Mark Perlberg: and you don’t have real estate professional tax status. The only thing you can do is the short term males to reduce your taxes.
386
00:58:44.360 –> 00:58:46.960
Mark Perlberg: I mean you can. You can take advantage of
387
00:58:47.610 –> 00:58:55.040
Mark Perlberg: if you make between 100, and you make under $150,000. You could use some long-term rail to offset your taxes.
388
00:58:55.160 –> 00:59:05.350
Mark Perlberg: Short term Rentals are booming, because all these dentists and doctors are catching on and buying these cabins. But now they’re finding that they don’t like to work that much.
389
00:59:05.360 –> 00:59:14.120
Mark Perlberg: This is a lot of work every time the toilet is clogged or toasters are working, or the Internet is down there calling you, and they’re getting exhausted.
39000:59:14.230 –> 00:59:16.350
Mark Perlberg: and you have to materially participate.
391
00:59:16.400 –> 00:59:34.910
Mark Perlberg: So while so now a lot of people, maybe they’re not finding any new deals, or they don’t have capacity to take on more deals. They have full time jobs, and they ask, how else can we reduce our taxes? Or maybe they want to move into some long-term investes like real estate syndications, and those are going to run cost segregation studies.
392
00:59:35.160 –> 00:59:38.690
Mark Perlberg: And if you Don’t, have real, say, professional tax, that you have all of these
393
00:59:38.720 –> 00:59:45.640
Mark Perlberg: massive losses from the cost settings rolling onto your 1040, you being completely unused
394
00:59:45.850 –> 01:00:04.070
Mark Perlberg: for some time, I mean it may offset future capital gains of real estate. But you want, if you really want to see the benefits well while we go and generate a pig
passive income generator, and this is a great source of a pig where you can have that passive income, and then the losses from the cost. Sags are going to eat up
395
01:00:04.070 –> 01:00:16.580
Mark Perlberg: all of this passive income that is coming in from the oil and gas. So it’s a great way that we can combine 2 different strategies, and this strategy is is really wonderful, for our clients that are kind of
396
01:00:16.780 –> 01:00:32.630
Mark Perlberg: need. A little bit of a breaker they can’t take on any more investing. We add this to the portfolio to drive some cash flow, create some tax savings, and utilize the tax advantages that may not be able to utilize otherwise from long term rentals.
397
01:00:34.950 –> 01:00:50.950
Mark Perlberg: So lots of cool stuff. And this Why, that’s why I really wanted to get you guys on here. Because, you know, while we most of our clients are involved in real scene messing in some in some way, if the way I see it is, if there’s an opportunity there that we can’t bring to our clients.
398
01:00:50.950 –> 01:01:00.960
Mark Perlberg: it’s a disservice. If we don’t show them all the different ways that we can help them really achieve their goals of finding financial freedom and reducing their taxes. So yeah, that’s a great point as well.
399
01:01:03.340 –> 01:01:17.050
Stu Turley: But a and and I I I just real quick. There’s a lot of questions in the markets. And, mark, I I just appreciate getting to know you and and being able to ask a Cpa questions is important.
40001:01:17.080 –> 01:01:29.500
Stu Turley: but also, mark, use us as a a resource because I talked to people around the world on the future of oil and gas. Rt. Is very, very involved with
401
01:01:29.520 –> 01:01:42.540
Stu Turley: the Oil and Gas Workers Association, who’s involved with the legislation, and very involved in these things. So we can articulate where the overall view of the market is going.
402
01:01:42.540 –> 01:01:50.900
Stu Turley: So you know again, just relying on each other to help articulate things is very important. We appreciate you more
403
01:01:51.050 –> 01:01:56.140
Mark Perlberg: wonderful. Yeah, I mean, there’s there’s still I I don’t even think I have enough time. It looks like there’s
404
01:01:56.650 –> 01:02:01.980
Mark Perlberg: There’s quite a variety, I think, when we’re trying to to sum up what the numbers are looking like here.
405
01:02:02.000 –> 01:02:08.480
Mark Perlberg: It looks like you’re going to get your capital contribution, whether it’s into middle into the mineral rights.
406
01:02:08.560 –> 01:02:17.620
Mark Perlberg: or whether it’s into the working interest, into these oil and gas mining into the oil. I’m not gonna. I’m not going to call them mining. Well, I go zoom that last time.
407
01:02:17.650 –> 01:02:33.130
Mark Perlberg: It’s at least drilling projects here right into the partnerships either way. It looks like your cash is going to come back to you pretty quickly in the form of cash flow from revenue, which it looks like the margins are really good.
408
01:02:33.190 –> 01:02:42.400
Mark Perlberg: really high cash flow, and also in the form. If you invest in the working interest, you’re going to get that intangible drilling cost giving you that year one
409
01:02:42.460 –> 01:02:44.130
Mark Perlberg: tax deduction of
41001:02:44.240 –> 01:02:50.190
Mark Perlberg: around 80% of your capital contribution or money that goes into the partnership.
411
01:02:50.430 –> 01:02:58.530
Mark Perlberg: And then, year after year. You’re going to see continued benefits of this when you, even though you don’t get the intended tangible drilling costs
412
01:02:58.640 –> 01:03:01.440
Mark Perlberg: deduction. When you buy the mineral rights.
413
01:03:01.860 –> 01:03:10.960
Mark Perlberg: The this is gonna be a project. This is going to be an asset that grows in value and increases in revenue over time, and could be sold at a profit.
414
01:03:11.580 –> 01:03:14.480
Mark Perlberg: However, the when you invest in the interest
415
01:03:14.710 –> 01:03:29.440
Mark Perlberg: you’re going to have that wonderful tax savings, You’re also going to have great sources of cash flow. I think one of the disadvantages here is that there’s no exit at a profit. You. This is a project that I eventually is going to run his course, and you can’t sell for a property.
416
01:03:29.450 –> 01:03:40.720
Rey Trevino III: Is that a correct statement? There, I don’t think so. I mean you figure again in the same thing, Same scenario, if you, if you’re cash flowing 100,000 a year
417
01:03:40.720 –> 01:03:52.050
Rey Trevino III: on your investment. That, hypothetically, was a $100,000. First of all, why would you get rid of it? But but if if you just had to, I mean you’d be like, hey, give you 500 grand, or
418
01:03:52.050 –> 01:04:01.860
Rey Trevino III: you know, you know, and you’ve already gotten years worth of production, and you’re still doing something with it, you know, and if nothing else, you should be able to least sell for what you got it for if you’re producing more than what you started with.
419
01:04:02.280 –> 01:04:08.060
Mark Perlberg: Okay, wonderful. But but to my understanding also, some of these partices would run their course for like
42001:04:08.100 –> 01:04:13.650
Mark Perlberg: 5, 10, or 30 years. Eventually it would be dissolved, and
421
01:04:13.750 –> 01:04:15.700
Mark Perlberg: the project would be ended. Right?
422
01:04:15.710 –> 01:04:32.880
Mark Perlberg: Correct? Yes, yes, No, the drilling, the drilling, you know, drilling all wells. It is more of a finite thing than the minerals. And so yes, you are right about that. So eventually this partnership, I mean. Obviously, you get your cash fl back. You know all this this cash flow. But eventually.
423
01:04:32.880 –> 01:04:35.750
Mark Perlberg: at some point the plan would be that this
424
01:04:35.980 –> 01:04:42.580
Mark Perlberg: partnership, with just end at some point when the project is done and the different projects have different links of time.
425
01:04:42.690 –> 01:04:58.450
Mark Perlberg: So when you value when you sell it, for you know, maybe some have another 5 years, some have another 30, 50 years, so it depending on the project, will tell you how much cash flow is expected to continue from the working interest. Right?
426
01:04:58.530 –> 01:05:02.460
Mark Perlberg: But the the mineral rights are going to have a longer shelf life.
427
01:05:02.650 –> 01:05:18.000
Rey Trevino III: a little more longevity. Correct? Yes, yeah, Once the the those are something the same thing with the working interest, but that that is something that you definitely passed down to somebody else, saying, hey, this is part of a portfolio that you guys are part of down the road. Yes, all right. Wonderful.
428
01:05:19.370 –> 01:05:39.280
Mark Perlberg: So the last question here is. So we have an audience that’s really interested in this stuff here. And what is the first step they go in finding out what’s in, what’s on the market out. What? What kind of projects are out there? I have some. I have $500,000 a cash
429
01:05:39.280 –> 01:05:46.530
Mark Perlberg: for my high paying w to, and I don’t. I don’t want to put in the stock market. I want to do something that’s gonna drive down my taxes.
43001:05:46.560 –> 01:05:54.040
Mark Perlberg: And what’s the first step I go in evaluating what to put my money in as far as these. These oil and
431
01:05:54.120 –> 01:05:54.960
this project.
432
01:05:55.450 –> 01:06:03.950
Rey Trevino III: I think cash flow is the first thing you gotta look at in anything it’s like is this already? Is is this already, you know, is my investment. Are you gonna get me cash flow on day one.
433
01:06:04.270 –> 01:06:12.770
Rey Trevino III: and if not, how quickly is it going to get me? You know. Cash flow day one. That’s another thing my father has taught me over the years is, hey?
434
01:06:12.810 –> 01:06:16.220
Rey Trevino III: You know you don’t sit on people’s money.
435
01:06:16.510 –> 01:06:36.440
Rey Trevino III: and what we do is it’s like, hey? We want to be able to go. We need to drill and in and get that cash flow, going as quickly as possible. It’s a bre if it’s a brand new drill, and if it if it’s something like we put Patrick into that’s already producing. That’s even better, because then it’s already producing with
436
01:06:36.440 –> 01:06:48.360
Rey Trevino III: ways of more income to come down. You know. Let’s let’s make that money work for you as quickly as possible, and I guess that’s really the question when you’re looking at it is my money working for.
437
01:06:48.920 –> 01:06:57.510
Mark Perlberg: So what is so? What is? What is it? A prospective investor? Do they contact you directly, and you send them some estimates and the timeline, or
438
01:06:57.740 –> 01:07:11.140
Rey Trevino III: How does that process work? Oh, yes, absolutely. If If somebody reach out to to, to, to stew, or myself, you know, we would definitely be able to tell them about everything that we got going on. And yet a lot we do have a perspective
439
01:07:11.140 –> 01:07:19.190
Rey Trevino III: of a current great project that we have right now, and we could definitely send that out, and, you know, discuss it with them in more detail.
44001:07:20.130 –> 01:07:32.300
Mark Perlberg: Another thing I was curious about here. Was is there ever something like a mutual fund that invest in multiple different projects at the same time. And you can just deploy your cash, or is is that possible? Or you just have to pick.
441
01:07:32.360 –> 01:07:41.250
Mark Perlberg: If you really want to hedge your risk, or whatever, or just have a variety of sources, you would just have to buy different shares of different stuff.
442
01:07:42.840 –> 01:07:45.390
Stu Turley: Yes, the answer is yes.
443
01:07:45.440 –> 01:07:59.910
Stu Turley: So you just have to be very careful on how you do that. Some emp operators have multiple Wells multiple items on it. Some of the royalty have multiple locations
444
01:07:59.910 –> 01:08:17.160
Stu Turley: like you have. Rt: may have multiple fields on multiple locations, so the answer is, it’s a combination of doing your due diligence and having somebody that will do work with you on the due diligence, on those things.
445
01:08:17.180 –> 01:08:30.160
Stu Turley: on the bigger family offices that we work with. There’s data rooms and the data rooms on the fields, and like on our T’s absolutely wonderful to work with, with his geologists
446
01:08:30.200 –> 01:08:46.290
Stu Turley: and and those kind of things so multi wells multi there’s a difference between a single bore well and a multi well and multi-location some. So the answer is, Yes, how’s that?
447
01:08:46.290 –> 01:08:51.840
Mark Perlberg: So for those of you guys who are interested in we’ll also talk to our clients
448
01:08:51.899 –> 01:08:53.040
Mark Perlberg: about this.
449
01:08:53.060 –> 01:08:56.220
Mark Perlberg: But basically, you know, you reach out to you guys.
45001:08:56.470 –> 01:09:03.540
Mark Perlberg: and we can get a perspective. We’ll get an estimate of what we expect. The cash flow in the the
451
01:09:03.580 –> 01:09:12.010
Mark Perlberg: the after tax savings to be here. Well, the the tax impact, and what the deductions are going to be from the intangible drilling costs.
452
01:09:12.040 –> 01:09:18.550
Mark Perlberg: And we’re going to get an understanding of, maybe, how long the project is going to be if it’s working interest.
453
01:09:18.870 –> 01:09:19.870
Mark Perlberg: and
454
01:09:20.290 –> 01:09:25.290
Mark Perlberg: we can take all this information and evaluate it just like any investment just like real estate.
455
01:09:25.529 –> 01:09:30.240
Mark Perlberg: and then you would, you know. Obviously you you.
456
01:09:30.350 –> 01:09:37.020
Mark Perlberg: you know you put your capital contribution in, and you get to work, and you just, and you sit back. Actually, you don’t get to work.
457
01:09:37.120 –> 01:09:56.820
Mark Perlberg: You sit back and you relax, and you enjoy the cash flow generated by your investments. You have your money working for you passively, legitimately, passively building well saving taxes. You see this compounding effect by which you’re reducing your taxes and investing your taxing back into more and more cash, flowing vehicles
458
01:09:57.860 –> 01:10:12.700
Rey Trevino III: absolutely. That is absolutely correct, and they’ll get me wrong if they want to come out to the all filled up. They’re more than welcome to come out, You know. I I know that is one thing that people like to do. They like to touch what they invest in, so they’re more than welcome to come out. It’s kind of get them a hard hat.
459
01:10:13.290 –> 01:10:19.530
Mark Perlberg: you know. Our our clients investing in short term rails and vacation homes are probably more inclined to touch those items.
46001:10:19.600 –> 01:10:27.340
Mark Perlberg: Then to go out there in the oil fields. It’s good to know. It’s good to know that’s a possibility
461
01:10:28.510 –> 01:10:39.100
Mark Perlberg: All right. Wonderful? Well, I don’t have any other questions at the moment. If anyone in the audience i’m going to check the Q. A. One time to see if there’s anything it looks like we’re good.
462
01:10:39.390 –> 01:10:40.610
Mark Perlberg: So
463
01:10:40.870 –> 01:10:54.970

They’ve all done great things for the country, and I do think we will continue to do great things in the country. I want to thank John very much for the questions, and again I I just want to open it up. If anybody has any other questions. I am.
467
01:11:41.900 –> 01:11:59.010
Rey Trevino III: you know. Stew got me talking more, you know I I had great opportunity to talk with Mark before this, and at least to kind of open up and and and talk more detail about the tax benefits. So again, I just want to reiterate one more time. If anybody has any other questions.

477
01:13:29.310 –> 01:13:38.240
Mark Perlberg: how wonderful! Yeah, and I I was a guess on your podcast, and we were riffing more on the tax side, because these things can be used as we talked about
478
01:13:38.250 –> 01:13:46.450
Mark Perlberg: for offsetting ordinary income, capital gains, income, passive income, generating passive income to user passive losses.
479
01:13:46.460 –> 01:14:06.270
Mark Perlberg: all sorts of cool stuff. You could do this, and we were ripping for a while on that, so you can check that out as well. So you know again. Thank you so much. I think this is a really wonderful opportunity that I’ve been dying to share and expose to my audience on all the cool things you can do here. So i’m really excited to share this with with you.
48001:14:06.270 –> 01:14:08.300
Mark Perlberg: our audience, and
481

483
01:14:18.790 –> 01:14:20.650
Mark Perlberg: here with Mark pro over Cpa.
484
01:14:22.310 –> 01:14:23.560
Rey Trevino III: Thank you. Guys
485
01:14:23.840 –> 01:14:25.070
awesome.
486
01:14:25.590 –> 01:14:27.070
Mark Perlberg: All right. I’m going to.
487
01:14:27.320 –> 01:14:30.650
Mark Perlberg: Well, I’m going to pause the recording. I think we’re good to go.
488
01:14:30.730 –> 01:14:38.730
Mark Perlberg: I think that you guys definitely provide a lot of wonderful value to to the audience. And well, thank you. It was all Rt. And John
489
01:14:38.800 –> 01:14:43.960
Rey Trevino III: John Fantastic questions. If you’re still on.
49001:14:44.160 –> 01:14:45.120
John Drawdy: appreciate it.
491
01:14:45.380 –> 01:14:51.100
Stu Turley: And, Mark, we’ve got some more things coming down the pike, and I want to throw them at you. So thank you so much.
492
01:14:51.160 –> 01:14:57.900
Mark Perlberg: Yes, yeah, be excited to to check this out, and hopefully, we get some of our clients to invest in this stuff, because we do have clients that are
493
01:14:58.100 –> 01:15:00.450
Mark Perlberg: who have cash. They don’t know what to do with it.
494
01:15:00.640 –> 01:15:08.470
Mark Perlberg: you know, and like I said, they’re getting, you know they’re running.
They’re reaching their capacity to buy new rentals and do costs.
495
01:15:08.490 –> 01:15:18.680
Stu Turley: you know, families to raise and jobs to. So i’m seeing huge things. Mark the way my website is. I I get
496
01:15:18.970 –> 01:15:30.460
Stu Turley: on average 35,000 users a day on my website, and it the feedback I’m getting is real estate is really in trouble, especially commercial.
497
01:15:30.600 –> 01:15:31.560
Stu Turley: So
498
01:15:31.630 –> 01:15:40.890
Mark Perlberg: it takes a while you sell you sell out your cash. It takes a while before that cash comes back. You know you, you you know, even with what a decent
499
01:15:40.990 –> 01:15:50.880
Mark Perlberg: you know, Roi here, I mean, it takes a while. Your cash has left your pocket. With this you get your cash back much faster, the velocity of casual way better.
50001:15:50.930 –> 01:16:01.610
Stu Turley: Oh, and and I want to stress again the importance of working with the Mp. Operators like Ray, and absolutely
501
01:16:01.920 –> 01:16:07.520
Stu Turley: not. All oil and gas investments are the same.
502
01:16:08.090 –> 01:16:23.550
Stu Turley: So I just want to share that with you. If you tell any of your clients to do due diligence, and Rt. Does a fantastic job doing his homework ahead of time. And
503
01:16:23.560 –> 01:16:42.090
Stu Turley: I’ve just. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to work with him, because not because I get to do his due diligence. But I he’s one of the few that I have selected to work with. Yeah, thank you. No, Marco. Right now is a great time. We have at least 18 more months of a high high dollar or high dollar oil.
504
01:16:42.100 –> 01:16:50.760
Rey Trevino III: and even if a a Republican gets an office, I think we will probably still stay at the $75 that we’re at today.
