If you are looking for timberland, allow Howard to assist you, his knowledge and experience in appraising timberland over the years may provide the insight you need to find the right property for your needs, and his lending background may be just what it takes to put the deal together.  It is a great time to buy timberland, timber product prices are down (upside potential when the economy turns around) and their are lots of properties on the market to select from.  Yes, the timberland market is soft and values have fallen but, history tells us they will bounce back.  Timberland has two components - the land and the timber... buy timberland with both of these present and you are placing a good bet - hedging your bet that if land slips a little more, the timber bounce will offset the risk.  Now is the time to look... if you find what you want, this is the time to invest and enjoy the property while the timber grows.  We just don't know when the bottom will come but, history tells us land is a good bet against inflation over time and the dips don't last long.  Google "Alabama Land Values Over Time" and click on "Quick View" to see the Auburn University's Dr. Walter Prevatt's rural land value research to get the real data about land value trends over time.
