Our Recommendation • 215 acres this year • $600,000: this will bring endowment fund back to $2 mil
Our Recommendation • 215 acres this year • $600,000: this will bring endowment fund back to $2 mil • The future is uncertain • Market may continue to rise • Market could dive, but we will already be safe with fund
Our Recommendation • 215 acres this year • $600,000: this will bring endowment fund back to $2 mil • The future is uncertain • Market may continue to rise • Market could dive, but we will already be safe with fund • With 600 acre max, we can harvest for 4 more years with about $300,000/year • We will still maintain 140 for at least 80% of land • If markets rise we can sell more • No pressure to sell
