“Selling timber is hard, it’s not rocket science, it’s harder”.
Get your timber to a merchantable size, then wait on wet weather/markets to bring the best price.
2011 the prices went crazy high, then last year they went way up. “You thin when you have to, then clear when you want to”.
We made some good money the last year and a half, sold some when prices went up 50%, then sold more when prices went up another 50%. Had we known, we would have waiting and sold when it peaked at 100%, but who ever knows these things?
Guaranteed 5% return a year for timberland or more if u manage it properly. Thats why real estate investment trusts owns 15 million acres of timberland.universities a college’s investment in REITS because it’s a safe a risk free return. I know many landowners/loggers pay for their land with timber sale then first cutting of pine is profit . Harder to do today with land prices so high .
