Program Overview
Washington Hunting Land Loans
Washington splits sharply between the timbered west side and the dry east. Westside tracts are valued largely on merchantable timber and growth, while eastside recreational ground trades on elk and mule deer habitat, water, and access.
Timber cruise data materially changes what a lender will advance on Washington acreage. Our capital partners underwrite standing timber as collateral value rather than treating a forested tract as vacant land.
Tracts bordering national forest or state trust land carry an access premium that generic appraisals often overlook. We push for comparables that capture it.

Frequently Asked
Washington Hunting Land Loans FAQ
Does standing timber count toward a Washington land loan?
Yes. A current cruise showing merchantable volume is treated as collateral value and can meaningfully increase the advance on forested tracts.
Do you finance tracts bordering national forest?
Yes, and adjoining public land is usually a positive. We ask appraisers to use comparables that reflect the access premium.
Are current-use forest classifications a problem?
No. Designated forest land and open-space classifications are reviewed for compliance and continuity but do not by themselves prevent financing.
