if the OP can get temp easement to log then that's your answer.. for west coast land locked it would need to be a major stand as we would helicopter log it.. however as you can imagine the cost to do so is 2X ground based logging.and out there in deep south that's all flat Pine. they usually use feller bunchers and mow it down like a lawn.. completely different than west coast hilly terrain or logging in the little mountains of the Carolinas or Virginias..   

Another call out..water rights...even in OR water is an issue and will become more of one in the future. not to get to deep into the tulles on this.. 

Give you some breathing roommake your deal with the county for a payment plan?

Brrr basically does not exist on the west coast unless you buy a lot and build from scratch.. cant buy the exisitng home cheap enough to have a no money into the deal refi.. or maybe it happens but its not a business model like it is in the mid west and deep south.. were you can pick up a home for 30k that with work will allow you to BRRR and have no money in it.. thats why the craze of west coast investor coming to your markets. 

Not to dive too deep here but one thing to look out for is sometimes a property can be assessed at a low number for whatever reason (usually because it is distressed which lowers the value).

@Jay Hinrichs- In the closing docs, buried 25 pages deep in one of the five docs, there is a paragraph that mentions this. 

@Jason DiClementeI am getting my feet really wet now diving deep in a deep search for properties.

This is a really tight scenario with very little breathing room or room for error.

@Matt Leber Cost will be determined on how much line needs to be replaced, how deep it is located and how much roots you will find on your way.

I even do a Google search sometimes to see if a news article or something pops up.I don't dig this deep on everyone but it's something I reserve for the applicants that seem questionable or if I have a gut feeling they're hiding something.
