@James Wise from Holton-Wise Property Group has a TV show on his website labeled "Tenants from Hell" and I believe they are mostly Section 8 tenants.

so much private land has been logged and replanted since then.. in those days we would buy a 40 lets say for 150k  take 200k of timber off of it then sell the land on contract for same price then hypothicate the note to pull out more cash rinse repeat.. we also would use our logging roads and staging areas stratigically so when we left the roads were in the right place to do a 4 way lot split and the landings/stagging areas became the building pads.. in the NW permits for logging are not tough.. in those days it was over the counter and there was nothing you needed to do with regard to excavation.. however if I just bought the land and wanted to put in roads and pads then I would have had to get a grading permit and all the survey and engineering that went with it.. its was really something how we did that.. and I miss it to this day.. the other item that made it so profitable was Japan was paying premium for Export quality doug fir logs.. you could get double or more for export logs.

You should attend Phil's BiggerPockets meetup here in Vegas (labeled under Henderson Real Estate Investors on meetup.com): http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/147...There's a meeting of a different group tomorrow night that's decent as well.As far as your goal, do you mean cash, or cash flow?  

@Natalie Johnstone My former employer who was a privately traded company that owned over a billion dollars of real estate and had an ancillary management business with revenues that exceeded $100M annually would sometimes form entities in Delaware because business cases are tried in front of a judge w/o a Jury and case law that's applied to decisions is very well developed in the State.

But you can do just the same or even better raising truly organic produce without earning the "certified organic" label for marketing purposes.

Whether you should use a hard money, broker or private money would depend on your goals & priority (speed, communication, pricing, etc) so highly recommend considering a variety of options!
