@Ned Carey,I picked up my first book by Harry Dent, The Roaring 2000s back when i was a senior in college in 1998.On page 297 in the book "The Roaring 2000s" (written in 1998) Reads as follows:"As we approach 2009, It will be a time to start harvesting stock and most real estate investments.

I saw a video on youtube where one real estate investor harvested 100-200 potential leads.

Tenants usually have poor taste and will leave your house in neon pink green and blue in every room

Hello all, I am going to be taking a vacation soon and staying in Fort Myers at the Pink Shell resort in one of their condos. 

I've seen factory workers and lower-level managers continue to believe it right up to the moment they get their pink slip and stare at it in wonder.

Make sure your books are up to date and ready for reconciling, consider contributions to retirement accounts, section 179 expense, tax loss harvesting, etc.  

Right now I'd rather plant a ton of seeds (buy houses an build equity) so that later down the road I can harvest them if I need to (sell them or dip into their equity). 

I think that painting it Neon yellow to fix your problem was a brilliant idea.Hi, yeah, thanks for the vote of confidence, I would have painted it hot pink with yellow polka dots but I time was of the essence and I went with the closest color that would go over the beige color of the house before I painted it, soooo the whole cost effective aspect thing was on my mind ;) however I did raise the  rent from the $600 to $800 which gave me an extra $2,400 dollars a year which paid for the new toilet ($70.00) and then some, I add a $50 yearly increase to my Sect 8 rental leases, this way the case worker who one must contact in order to implement an increase can reference the agreement and approve the $50.00 a month fee, in my experience the case workers don't like to give any rent increases if they are not in the original lease, a definite way to avoid a long drawn out battle of climbing the chain of command who really couldn't care less if you are the best landlord (not a slum lord) and discourage anyone who asks for an increase by forgotten return phone calls to outright indignant behavior, lies and so forth, Happy trails Brother 

Hi BP, my partner @Jon Sanborn and I recently bought a commercial mixed use property in Philadelphia, PA 19132: 3 Total Units - 2 Bedroom Unit, 1 Barber Shop Unit, 1 Hair Salon Unit. The tenants we inherited are great...

but to answer your question, yes - harvesting the timber could certainly be a feasible way to make some extra money from a vacant land property.
