    I am thinking to place a call option on a block of land in a new estate in a large regional town in Victoria. If I place a call option to hold the block there are no ongoing cost until settlement. The estate is being master planned by a prominent architecture company.

    Anyone has experience about putting option on land? What the things to consider? Is it worthwhile doing and get the high return than basically buying a house and land package?

    I had a client that optioned up about 20 blocks of land off the plan. They tripled in value before settlement. He was a millionaire out of that deal. I’ve also had other deals where I have sold an option and it hasn’t been exercised.

    Are you willing to lose the option amount?
