Real estate is one of the most common ways to build up investments outside of the stock market. When discussing real estate, most people think about occupied buildings, such as homes or office spaces. However, you can invest in another form of real estate is vacant land. Vacant land can be a great way to invest your money; purchasing a lot for sale can offer some strong advantages. 

Cheap Price 

When it comes to buying undeveloped land, the price is generally low. You can purchase undeveloped land for significantly less than you can purchase an improved lot. Undeveloped land is a space full of potential; you can develop the land and build on it, thus increasing the value of the land. Purchasing a lot for sale allows you to get into property ownership at an affordable price. 

Low Costs 

Many lands aren't going to cost you that much to take care of. You will have to pay property taxes and insurance; however, those costs should be minimal as long as there is no development on the land. You may need to mow the property and keep it clear of trash; however, you will not have to put a lot of money into maintaining the land while you hold it and wait to develop it.  

A Blank Canvas 

When you purchase a lot of land, you are purchasing a blank canvas. Nothing has been done to the property yet, which means that you can do what you want with it. You can change the land and make it suit your purposes.  

It is essential to be aware of any zoning and building codes that impact a lot of land before purchasing it. A lot of land in a commercial area can't be used to build your dream home, for example, nor can you build your dream business in a residential neighborhood. Ensure that the zoning fits up with your dreams, and then have fun imagining and planning what you want to do with the space.  

Good Appreciation 

Having an empty lot of land in your portfolio is a good way to build up equity and appreciation. Vacant land is going to stay in good shape and should not depreciate. If the area around it is developed, there is a good chance that your land will appreciate. It is a good way to gain money without doing anything.  

If you decide to build on the land, you will enjoy even more appreciation in the land, and get more from it. 

Buying a lot of land is a great investment. It is cheap to purchase, easy to maintain, and offers you good appreciation. You can have a contractor clear the land, and when you are ready, you can develop the land based upon the zoning codes and regulations and turn that lot of land into your dream home or business space.
