TIMBERLAND INVESTMENT

>>961860
No money for land, and I live in MA so anything within a 2 hour drive isn't worth the cost.

Investing into actual commodities is smart, but the EPA is the most malignant thing in the United States other than the Council on Foreign relations. If you somehow catch the ire of the government, you will be fucked.

That's pretty close to 0% unless you actually present competition to other local companies.

If you could get enough land and then set up some stuff on there like small cabins then you could also sell hunting experiences. It could be year round technically as well since it's private property. You'd have to invest into getting more animals onto your land.

What if shit catches fire yo?

Are you growing timber? Location? I'll buy some logs off of you.

>the EPA is so evil

Yeah brah it sucks that they don't even let you dump toxic waste on the ground and shit anymore

This is such an idiotic simplification of what the EPA does. You're part of the problem.

>>962225
Just because it is private property..... In some states does not mean you can hunt game year round.
I can not hunt deer out of season on my land.

Oh really? Well, make sure it's in a state where you can. Here in NC you can.

You got me curious. I'm from Moldova and we have a lot of green places there and getting some private land is subject just to paying some small bribe most likely. The costs of handling such a business are/should also be pretty low. The problem is - where to export this stuff to, and how do I find out at what price people buy it for, because dealing in timber only in my country would be tedious, would give me low returns and there is competition. On the other side, people are pretty dumb and they don't make connection with Western/Central Europe, but rather with Russia. With the low costs here, it should technically be possible to compete somewhere in Central/Western Europe.

Sure, they force companies to pay for remediation of land they contaminated. Wow, soo bad amirite?

muh guhmint is bad

>>962282
Yea, the EPA is actually part of the parasite conspiracy to force hardworking, genius businessmen to pay for social programs for mooches and parasites due to the 100% inherent, non-toxic byproducts of the industrial process

>competing in a developed economy with established players, tons of regulation, and informed institutional consumers
>somehow easier and with higher returns than competing in an empty market where you'd be the only serious actor

lol

The EPA has little to no jurisdiction over timber harvest. They are only concerned with water and air quality.

>>962227
Thats really only a problem in the west.

you can make lot of money discovering land that should be harvested, working with the land owner, and pocketing a percentage of the profit from the harvest.

The gist of it is this:
Fact
>EPA lets contain contaminates out of gold mine into the colorado river
>Fish die
>EPA actually causes this
>EPA is asking for more funding

Disputable (but I believe it to be true)
>EPA knew this would happen
>They caused it to happen and pretend they didn't do nuffin
>They ask for money

The EPA is malignant, yet powerful, and I would argue that they can find a way into your business if they wanted to.
