		<description>lumber is very lucrative.  if you have good forestation, consider contacting a lumber yard for harvesting some of the wood.  they do all the work, and you get the check.  get a couple offers and make sure to mark off what trees can go, and which will stay.</description>

		<description>So you have 8 acres of commercial land I&#039;m assuming.  Financing shouldn&#039;t be a problem because you could use the property for collateral for a construction loan.  You&#039;ll first need to go see a local civil engineer to develop a plan (this isn&#039;t free of course) to see what you can develop to maximize the site and abide by the local regulations.  A leasable strip mall is always profitable no matter where it is, but you will need to advertise early so you can have some commitments to lease so you can as they say &quot;Build to Suit&quot;.  Another option would be to get a partner, one who already has money so you would be putting up the land and the other would be fronting the money, therefore you have no financial risk, but only gain, although now your gain would be less since you are splitting profits.  Hope this is helpful.</description>
