Millions of Trees are harvested each year for our ever expanding society.

there are areas that tax's are very low on rural properties... but I do believe unless your a non profit pretty much every property has tax's  then you have big corps that create special tax breaks.city of Portlandia to stimulate growth in certain areas will waive tax's for 10 years... of course the price to purchase is generally 500k or more. but hat saves you 100k over the 10 years.Also in Oregon we have Ag and timber defferals which can make tax's very very low.I owned a 720 acre tree farm and I think my tax's were less than 2k a year... now how they pick up revenue is when we go to log we have to pay Harvest and severance tax's Also if we take land that is in AG deferral and change the use to say a subdivision ( my favorite activity) then we have to pay a deferral tax to get it out of AG and into the new use.. this can be substantial.. depending on the property.. not a deal killer but one needs to be aware of it.

CA harvest permits are harder to get than doing a subdivision.In Oregon they are over the counter and your ready to go in 3 days. and anyone can fill them out even me.Washington you need a forester little tougher but definitely doable and easier than CA.I just sold my last Tree farm  700 acres to Stimson lumber about 2 years ago... numbers looked like this. 700 acres but the front 100 acres was zoned for 5 acre lots so I busted 20 lots out of it.. we netted about 1.5 million out of the lots.

Harvest gold anyone?

I own out of state rental property in NY and will have a semi-complicated tax season as I've started my own business, will be harvesting some gains/losses, moved, have multiple W2's, had a child.  

My thought would be that after I have closed on the property, I can work with a local timber company to have a portion of the property harvested to offset the closing costs and get some liquidity / equity.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks & God bless,Eric

@Matt Anderson  depending on the tree growth cycle you could be waiting a few yrs for your return and unless you rotate or split plant/harvest cycles you wont have annual passive income but rather cyclical.
