Like, if the lot is somewhat bigger enough for a subdivision to be constructed on it. You can sell it to organizations who constructs housing programs. If it qualifies then that is great.

Both of my parents invested in lands. They ventured in acquiring properties as much as they can. Now this properties are used for rent. We have apartelles - smaller version of apartment. We have a few homes constructed and we let families rent them. We also have boarding houses' for students and we even have agricultural lands. This is also a monthly source of income for our family. So my parents don't need to work hard at their age. They can taste the fruit of their labor. Some of the jewelry gifts our parents have given us are already displayed in pawnshops or sold out. We don't really appreciate the jewelries given to us that much. We're not fond of wearing them too. So, to the pawnshop off they go.

Soon, we'll be having families of our own but we don't have to worry about a home to provide our family. Our parents made sure that my sister and I have a house of our own. The only thing lacking is a groom, haha. At the moment we feel secured that we own something which we can decide to keep or sell.
