Cost of cutting and delivery to the mill is roughly 1/2 of what you will receive for the lumber.Timber property is usually listed for sale with a board foot figure included in the listing, that has been prepared by a licensed timber cruiser and which can be verified and audited.Seriously, it is one thing to buy a parcel with timber by accident, but if you want to deal in timber properties, you will be swimming with the really big sharks and you had better take the time to learn what you are doing.

Some are really more sharks then they are there to find a win-win solution.

That pays for my coordinating with the cleaner to ensure we're on the beginning of their route for the day in question vs an unknown slot... and I let the guest know that means they can get in 3 hours earlier than normal time. 

As Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank says, if your investment is not making any money, it's a hobby. 

Newbies with money and the sharks are circling.

You should also learn who the sharks are at these events...meaning they go w/ big pockets, or slum lords or high end brokers,etc.
