Control land for years with $1K options — no purchase, no debt.
Buy an option (right, not obligation) to purchase land at a fixed price for 2-5 years. Small option fee ($1K-$25K) controls the upside. Assign or exercise when the market moves, entitlements clear, or you find an end-buyer. Unlimited upside, capped downside — classic asymmetric OPM play.
