I would pick areas like Toney, Harvest, Decatur, Athens, Hazel Green and Madison--(might be a bit pricey). 

I was a guest a while ago and now am in the harvest period on my apartment complexes I 1031 exchanged for etc…. from 2015-2019.

But its still a renewable resource you can still harvest private timber and you will be harvesting timber for the next 1,000 years if we are still all here  :)

Some of the brightest investors in the country  Harvard endowment  John Hancock etc. they are the number one owners and long term investors in Timberlands in the US.. there is no cash flow in timber.. there is own it hold it ( many times for 30 to 100 years) harvest it one time event and cash out..

These are the people that do the work that no one else is willing to do, harvesting crops, digging ditches, cleanup and all other forms of outdoor manual labor in the baking dry heat of Central California.  

We looked at it and will harvest some trees to make the trust last. 

Some RE activities, like land clearing (and tree harvesting) and construction, ...

I called it the harvest time for me, my family and friends!!

No issue with the lender, financing rates stay low, title does not change, investor has locked in a low, present day purchase price and has the right to rent/cash flow and either execute the option personally with a new purchase mortgage in the future to harvest the equity or sell it to the tenant and pocket the difference. 

Not bad, but I wanted to harvest the equity to make more $ and scale up.
