Coupled with the foundation of knowledge built from the books and podcasts I have been digesting for the past years, I knew that the numbers worked and I just needed to trust my eyes.Eventually the big day came and I was reborn a real estate investor.I will admit, Negative Nancy was in the back of my skull kicking and screaming the entire time.I guess the point to this rambling is to say you know what you know.

in the Pac Norwest  there can be HUGE money made in land and timber.its not uncommon for a 10 acre tract of mature douglas fir to have a net timber value of 200 to 400k in your skinny jeans.. :)I think there is a huge play for the 20 to 30 year olds to diversify and buy logged over tracts that are in great growing sites.. its easy to determine department of forestry has it all mapped out and on line.set it and forget.. the Coast ranges are the best as they are not prone to fire which is the really the only risk. doug fir does not get the pine Beatle so I would stick to doug fir.I know there is money in hardwoods but you need a lot of acres to generate larger chunks of cash compared to softwood.
