A friend of mine invests in lots near local downtowns/college towns. He cleans them up, puts up decorative lights and speakers for music and then leases out sections of it to local food truck vendors. He has done a couple of these and each have been an absolute homerun and insane ROI. May be a little more legwork, but just an idea!

This is a much more sensible approach than trying to develop the land. It doesn’t necessarily have to be back taxes or tax liens either. Nor do you have to sell on terms. You can easily flip for cash. Most of the lots that I buy do not have back taxes, and I sell them for cash to end buyers who have their own development plans.

Ground lease! I know an investor who owns the land and a big box hotel is on top. He collects the rent and the hotel takes care of the rest. Just make sure there is utility access.

Also a friend of mine buys vacant land that owes back taxes for cheap, and then lists the plots for sale with owner financing, often $99 down and they make payments, if they default, you keep the $ and the land!

Ryan Rochefort · Answer

I was always curious how a ground lease works, do you have any good resources? I've seen signs popping up for them in my area, is it basically putting up land for rent?
