It's how some Hollywood people really made their money Buck Henry made more than he ever would in TV. I believe Bob Hope and Johnny Carson also bought empty land and just held onto it until developers came in.

Buying land in places like Nevada and Texas or even condos, has potential. At the moment, a lot of corporate investing is going into buying homes. If there's a place to buy in under $100k, it would be something to look in to.

PS: Renting out has issues. I have a friend who is loosing her condo in San Diego because she can't collect rent due to covid. There were a lot of maintenance problems to boot.
