When we purchased we did not feel we had time to manage RE, so raw land seemed like a good fit, basically a set and forget to help us diversify from the stock marketHow did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Jay Hinrichs will have a good handle on raw construction costs per SF but I don't think $95/sf is anywhere out of line right now given the cost of materials.

Raw land is very hard to finance.  

Hey @Jason Ehrmentraut, this is a raw deal. 

Or if you're wanting to do some construction on raw land to get the values up to the value of what you sell.But reverse exchanges are also complex and pretty expensive. 

So from SF to MF or commercial or raw land it's all good.

That’s pulling a top-level CMA (comparative market analysis) and it is easy to misconstrue the raw data.

It is raw land.

Or is it to much of a hassle to deal with the timber side than just investing in the raw land ?

You could have misspelled boosts.The BP calculators are great, but messing with the raw data is much better for understanding.
