I know we're getting further off the topic of housing and onto resource extraction and mineral rights, but now that you mentioned them I'm curious as to what the options for oil/gas would be. I know that DZ held a group buy on the forum that allowed accredited investors (aka people with really large amounts of BTC) to invest in an oil/gas company's fracking wells. Would there be even a remote possibility of something like that happening, but for those of us who are not accredited? I know the Marcellus Shale Formation extends from mid-Pennsylvania into Ohio, and with the winter being this cold  and the price of nat gas spiking (well, returning to prices seen in the earlier 2000's  ), wells that weren't really economically viable before might start becoming viable again.

PS buying some more IPO shares to give you more cashflow for houses/resources/beanie babies/whatever.
