The loan is funded, buy the property and begin the harvest, payments assigned can be on a split, amortized to repay the loan over the timber contract period.A timber broker can help you.

Too bad they can't harvest tumble weeds or sage brush.

metes in bounds in Old logging country when the tree got harvested and or the creek moved there went the legal description.

When it is consistently paid late each and has been for years, it's no different than being paid on time for years, just that I make 5% more I'm not a type of landlord who hopes or seeks predatory/abusive tenant situations where I can harvest fees from my tenants. 

This is fairly remote land only suitable for harvesting timber or hunting.It looks like the life estate was granted in the 80's and my county does not have records online that far back so I can't look up the original document.Anyone have experience with this?  

Options are used in all sorts of contracts of speculation is my point: from stocks to commodities, to real estate to mineral harvesting rights to automobiles and so on.

@Martha Saldana-Beene I would have preferred west Madison county - Madison, Harvest, Toney due to proximity to Redstone Arsenal and other employers along with just development patterns in general but bidding up would push my budget in those areas.

Every time I play with snakes....Thank you for bringing to light the pain (not to mention the thousands and thousands of fees) to optimize ones ROI through equity harvesting, equity-stripping, leveraging your assets or whatever the latest 'sophisticated' way is to grow.
