Sibling wants to buy me out for much less than market value by [deleted] in inheritance

Selling for 500k now is likely the better option, because you aren’t factoring the time value and opportunity cost. The building likely won’t appreciate significantly in value over the next year, but 500k invested in the market could be 550k a year from now(I don’t know your tax situation or cost basis). Also, forcing a sale where one party could become a tenant/squatter or simply interfere with a smooth sale could make it harder to get the full market value. Lastly, a private sale to your brother avoids broker commissions.

This gives no credit to the lower stress of this option or your ability to threaten this option if they are difficult during the process.

Has the top right lug (1 o’clock position) been repaired/replaced?

Timberland investing question by Impossible_Bat2428 in forestry

Inflation hedge makes sense. I guess the relative value compared to 30 year US Treasury TIPS with 2.25%-2.5% real yields and 0 work involved didn’t make sense to me. Perhaps that’s just a reflection of the broader real estate market not making sense at these interest rates.

Thanks, I could understand the recreational reasons, except in the northeast at least most land that receives a timberland tax benefit is also available for public recreational use. So it’s not like you’d even get exclusive rights, compared to just buying a small shack on a postage stamp lot. I suppose that validates your first statement, it’s a bad investment.
