You can harvest equity out of the property by way of sale or refi, and5.

Any business you are interested in building is worth giving your best attention and talents to its nurture so you can receive an ample harvest from your effort. 

Being born on a farm I would call it secondary harvesting.

Often what we sow comes to harvest in waves.When I was working and hunting for new deals, what kept me motivated and consistent was my why. 

In one podcast I listen to on investing they discuss the concept of "equity harvesting" on their properties.

Although I would have like to hold on to it a little longer so we could have done the first harvest when the timber got to 70 YO.. big money !! 

Still, $15-20k of added costs in 3-4 years for capital gains harvesting is not bad.

The issue Brian is putting forth is that if there is significant intrinsic value in a deal and it can be harvested by an expert operator, then mining this intrinsic value can make an apparently slim deal into a fantastic deal.

Timber land has very low tax's we had a 700 acre tree farm that had a value of about 4 million and taxs were under 3k a year.. where they get thier money though is in Harvest and Severance tax's two tax's when you log. 

I recommend looking at the BP bookstore for books and listening to the podcasts... info is out there, you have to harvest it
