I’ve heard of the following ways to minimize these taxes…1) Combine some tax harvesting with the sale.I will be investigating this more but does anyone have any experience with this …any input?

I wouldn't be intimidated by HOAs...often times HOAs are just in place to pay for maintenance of the neighborhood sign, pool, clubhouse, & to prevent you from painting your house hot pink :)You should be able to drive through the neighborhood and look at the different houses and get a pretty good feel for how strict the HOA guidelines are...If every house is immaculate, with similar architecture and exterior finishes then the HOA is likely to be very strict and you may need to be concerned about the HOA covenants & restrictions...With that said, as other have recommended, have your realtor pull the HOA fee & association bylaws and covenants/restrictions to find out what you are getting into...

I'd like the own the land for a long-term hold; however, having most of the land being zoned CF I am wondering how do I go about determine the value of the timber and when I would be allowed to harvest it, well I wouldn't harvest it but rather have someone pay me to do so.The land is in Washington State.

You can make your first wholesale deal in a week if you wanted to.Then immediately, go harvest your cash buyers list.

Basically, I like the pink and orange lines.  

From experience I'm not convinced on the air purge method.Instead I use a 3/4 HP submersible pump in a 5 gallon bucket & pump fluid (usually the pink 'food grade' RV anti-freeze) through the lines.

You could also reach out to a local forester / logging company to see if you could pull any money out of it on the front end by harvesting some of the trees.

For example you can't expect high rent when the place looks like 1970's with green carpet and pink formica counter tops.

He used to do timber harvesting back In the day.
