You know Iā€™m just a dumb auto mechanic that lives in a shitty town, I didnā€™t realize my standard of living was so high that I look at something like this and cringe instead of seeing opportunity.

i never said any of that of course, nor did anyone, i just don't believe you know the cost to actually build something from the ground up on vacant property apparently.

god i bet you could sell a lot of the lumber for good money too and selectively log the back
I was contemplating bidding on some land several months ago up in Ladysmith, 40 acres. It looks sus, lower than the road, shit growing up trees, etc. Called the county and found out 98% of it is swampy forested low land with ZERO waiver to fill in to build. Auction ended, 68k, couple months go by and I looked at the property records to see who bought it.

FIPs from Arlington Heights.

So either hunting land or thought they were getting their 40 acres and a mule and just fucked around and found out.

Anyone who owns 120-160 acres up here basically is set for life and their kids, grand kids, great grand kids and on are also set. Log 1/4-1/3 of it every 10 years, replant, log another 1/4-1/3, replant, for perpetuity and basically your wood pays for you to live here.

I'm so fucking jealously mad.

it's funny looking at lumber as a crop, but that's what it is.

However, I've been reading with how lumber price has plummeted BEYOND 2019 pricing that lumber mills are stacked the fuck up and not taking lumber. But I don't know fuck about shit about the industry to know how fast that product should/will turn around.
