What to Do With Your Vacant Land

If you own vacant land, you may be wondering what to do with it. Location, zoning, and your budget all matter. Here are the main options, so you can decide what fits your situation.

Option 1: Sell it

Selling is a good choice if you don't have the time or money to develop the land yourself. Factor in the cost of any surveys or title searches, and decide whether you want to sell outright or offer terms, such as owner financing.

Option 2: Lease it

Leasing lets you keep ownership without funding a development project. You'll still want the survey and title work in order, and you'll need to decide what kind of lease to offer, such as a net lease or a gross lease.

Option 3: Develop it yourself

If you have the time and resources, developing the land yourself can be rewarding. Beyond surveys and title searches, you'll need every required permit and approval from local authorities.

Choosing what's right for you

Whether you sell outright, sell with terms, lease, or build, there's an option that fits. The right one depends on the land's location and zoning, your budget, and how involved you want to be.
