Investing in land requires a larger amount of capital from the outset, however it is often considered one of the safer investments (compared to shares as an example) as you have acquired something tangible. You can also use equity over time to build further growth of your portfolio instead of additional capital. If a loan is taken out to purchase the land, you must also ensure you have sufficient funds for the interest repayments. This is not financial advice, make sure you do your own independent research before purchasing land.
