They will also deliver any quantity of items right to your job site for $20, doesn't matter if it is three tons of lumber or a single bathroom vanity.

It said if you as the owner have owned your property prior to 1975 ish in the same ownership you were allowed to go back to that zoning and develop.Well you can see the inequity there .. one guy has 40 acres that was zoned favorably prior to 75 and can do a massive subdivision the neighbor who must adhere to todays zone on the same 40 acres is lucky to build one house.Stimson Lumber with their Washington county and Tillamook county vast holdings made measure 37 claims on literally hundred thousand acres of timber ground into HBU  higher density and buildable lands  which value is greater than the production timber values.Once the state figured it out they made it very difficult to prosecute a measure 37 claim and they finally did a way with it. 

Lumber is at $1500-1600 now compared to $450 or so a year ago.

Buuuut now with the price of lumber...

Milk, gas, taxes, insurance, lumber, sneakers, etc.When the lease is up for renewal each year, it includes an automatic 3% increase.

I was asked to help manage a property but said I wouldn't do it for "pay", but a 40% ownership interest, if we took it through "processed" lumber and not standing timber.Most people don't "Thin" thinking they can plant and forget and they will get more "Wood" and I tell them they will, but they want more "Lumber". 

Chuck Fowke, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), is quoted in the article as noting that “Despite strength in buyer traffic and lack of existing inventory, builders are slowing some production of single-family homes as lumber and other material costs, along with interest rates, continue to rise.”That said, over the 12 months we’ve seen a 36% increase in permits, but a delay in construction.

Go buy the lumber right now it has gone up over 360%  in 12 months!

However, due to lumber prices, fence installation is quite expensive and uncertain if I should move forward with this request.

With the current lumber and fixture prices the old numbers in many of the fix/flip and BRRRR calculators will get you buried.
