    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    All good points. Hopefully we're in a sweet spot. Time and the market will tell.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    I tend to agree - the aesthetics are quite unappealing. Not to mention the damage done to riparian areas, access, etc.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    The tract in question is quite literally a back forty. The rest is in mixed pasture and timber (some planted, some natural regeneration / mixed). The land includes two ponds, a year-round creek, and a cabin. It is quite a desirable property.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    LOL my neighbor has already expressed his interest while explaining to me all the reasons why it's not worth as much as I would like for it to be.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    That's the wild card, right? The speculative value of standing timber. WTF knows? I'm not in a hurry to sell it but, having said that, would love to minimize the headaches involved.

    Sounds like a reasonable plan to try the package deal first. We have the appraisal in hand.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    Good point about managing that process. I don’t want to do it and I don’t want to pay him 10% to do it for me. Another reason to sell as-is.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    That was sort of my point, but his counterpoint was that people would rather get the land for 20% less (the timber value, assuming they would cut it anyway) since it reduced their loan (assuming they have a loan). I tend to agree with you, though.

    OT: Sale of timber on part recreational land before sale of entire place?

    Hi all, I'm going to sell 155 acres of recreational land (retired farm) in east-central Mississippi. About half the property is in timber, and there is a particular tract of pine, with no habitat value, that's been appraised at about 20% of what I estimate the entire place will sell for. My...

    What was the most 'different' class you ever took in college....

    Not that “different” but Writing for Engineers with Embree was very difficult. He hated engineers.

    OT: MS River Bridge in Memphis

    Bad at rush hour according to media reports. Instead I went south at Jonesboro down to Helena and crossed. Smooth sailing.
