You need to look at maps prepared by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).  

They sold Hunting land, Farm land, Timber and Mineral properties. 

Fortunately only selected areas have the minerals required for alumina production.

These things may seem miner to most investors, but they have HUGE effects on predicting what our finished flips will sell for and how long it will last on the market.That is why we absolutely do not rely on out of the box Comp generating packages.Unless someone experienced has been there looking at the property IN PERSON as an experienced flipper would, I simply do not trust the comp!

Let the talking heads drive down investments prices in RE and let the dumb money chase the silver miners, etc.And as was previously mentioned in this thread - the truth is that you will be most successful doing what you know.

Like oil, timber, some land, minerals, and other natural resources.

I have worked in the mineral exploration industry in Canada for the past 10 years.
