I have been fortunate to visit many Asian countries and befriend a great many filipino, japanese, korean, thai, and vietnamese during my stay in Hawaii.

I am an retail equities trader who manages his own portfolio.

Another options trader!

When its severed ( harvested it becomes personal property.. )  kind of like buying a home were a freeway is going and moving it to a bare lot using a home moving company.Now here is the good part.. in those days MId 90s  Timber that was export quality ( J logs )  Japanese grade were in such high demand and Menasha out of Wisconsin at the time was a large West coast exporter of logs.. they would advance on the Timber deed.. terms..

put a ad out and try to find them good homes,,,its the right thing to do.Craigs list and local paper including trader papers are good to try And it solves other probs.

so it just comes down to what we like to do.Like on New st. sold that to a wall st. trader for 2.2 mil cash  his wife was an Olympic soccer player . 

One of our student tenants is now working for Trader Joes for $22/hr & is getting loads of overtime, he's trying to recruit a couple more of our tenants.

I started my career on Wall Street as a proprietary equity trader. 

We bought most of the houses subject to and then resold them subject to mostly to a group of Japanese investors.  

There are some parallels to the Japanese bubble, but I'm not too versed enough about this.
