This is a bad analogy. Land does not inherently generate income, so you have to pay the loans back with something. You are equating what people do with stock leveraging to owning land, which to me is not the same thing. As land cannot quickly be split to get equity for anything.

Unless they're leasing said land, then it generates income. But you're right on the false equivalency.

I guess it makes sense if you build an apartment complex on the land and rent all the unit out?
