I've been interested in real estate investing since I was young, especially after working on the pit crew of a race team owned by a commercial real estate investor.My passions are racing and automobiles in general, music, and video games.My hobbies are expensive!

My wife works at home and makes minimal income through music tutoring (above $3K). 

I am currently a music teacher, and I'm looking to invest in real estate for financial freedom.

I don't know about your forests but in the Northwest Cedar is really high  then fir  then Hemlock then spruce .. saw log alder can bring good money occasionally.. but then you have the grand daddy of them all REDWOOD but that is a CA product.and you had big runs on Port Orford cedar that was used in Music instruments..

She is going to get her bachelor of music.

Some folks are better with talking to people on the phone, others at composing great letters, while others connect best when they meet people face to face.

The cash #s are not as attractive in DFW but one must look at total returns which are composed of cash + capital appreciation.

I mainly work on commercials, but have done everything from music videos to tv to small independent features.
