I logged one stand in the NW Oregon area .. same area as AX man show logs in Vernonia OR.. and got over 450k net to me on that sale.. so it really depends on what you got.Even in CA.. you can still see 3 and 4 log loads going down the road.. big TREES  were as if your in plantation pine land there could be 75 stems per load.. in Oregon we averaged 20 to 30.. you want that tight cylinder 14 to 18 inch on the but and 10 to 12 inch tops no knots.. thats money.I have poked around at some timber ground in the east and you pretty much need to be looking at 200 acre plus type sales to have any real volume.. 

I've examined a half dozen websites, and don't see any difference among them. 

We usually have 40+ people where half the room are newbies... so it's pretty casual.

I was planning on renting a first apartment, but the idea purchasing a duplex and renting out half of it sounds like it will benefit me much more.

It doesn’t matter what the building “ gets” if the folks living in it fill it full of trash pit bulls bedbugs and don’t pay half  the time !

One of my clients bought a duplex with VA but did it to live in half.

In my case, I stood firm, the seller attorney finally gave in, practically begged if his client could get half his money back after talking tough and nasty over three calls, and I hung up on him.

I tend to buy in the Southern half of the US for 2 reasons:1) you get much higher year-round occupancy rates in the South & it’s simply tough to earn a good ROI in the North if your place sits vacant for a big chunk of the year2) Culturally, the Southern half of the US seems to be a lot more accepting of STRs regulation-wise.

He would write me a check for half of the difference of his all in cost and appraised value.

I would also put in that if these jobs are the tenant's responsibility, and they don't clear snow from the sidewalk or keep the grass below 6 inches in height, you will take over that responsibility and start billing them monthly.
