Potential property deal with ready to cut timber

[Eric Evans]

I've been studying and investing for more than a year now, and have 2 buy and hold properties in my portfolio. I've also had some success with wholesale deals in my local area in Baton Rouge, LA. I have 2 potential deals on the horizon that are over the state line in Mississippi. 

I have 2 questions that led me to start this discussion:

1. Can anyone recommend an investor friendly title company / attorney that has offices near the Natchez area?

2. I have much to learn about property with ready to cut timber. My thought would be that after I have closed on the property, I can work with a local timber company to have a portion of the property harvested to offset the closing costs and get some liquidity / equity.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks & God bless,

Eric
