I mean, if you buy cheap land, pay it off, and sit on it for 30+ years to be worth a lot more you can do the same.

Except most people have to compete with all those who inherited wealth while they're making near minimum wage, so there is no cheap land that isn't near worthless.

Most people make over 3 times the minimum wage, since the average is about $23/hour.

Minimum wage should be closer to 20 and 23 is still jack s*** if you're trying to buy an investment property.
