What does the MB suggest?

Looking for something relatively safe, low-maintenance (I don't live in the US) with a decent return (5-10% annually).

What are my best options?

Don't know your circumstances but if I had 300K to kill I'd buy timber land and let the wood grow. No maintenance required. Mother nature does it for ya.

Find some hard clay soil that is no good for farm crops. But pine will grow in it over time and much faster than hard wood. Plant, wait, cut, profit.

Lots of rich families up here in NW La. who made their money on pine timber. Wood is expensive. Try building a new house today and look at the cost of your lumber from the framer.

sounds like a good plan. i'm assuming long term futures for wood are still up? I also plan to buy farmland in SWLA just b/c that's how i grew up, even if i just break even over the long run

and do you just get a forest manager to run it for you? how much does that cut into your returns?

There was a thread today on the OT about how healthy dinars can actually cost less than junk dinars.

Buy a brand new freestanding Dollar General with a 15 year lease. Corporate guaranteed lease, and you can probably purchase it between a 7 and 8 cap. Send me your email if you want to discuss further.

Since when? I am no expert but my buddy owns about 1000 acres of pine tree farms and he said prices are very very low.
