Land is something I'm interested in but apart from leasing it out for grazing I'm finding it hard to figure out how to make it anything close to a cash positive investment?

We own a block of land that we're hoping to build on, but if we do end up selling, then we can claim it as an investment and get a tax rebate... but to do this deliberately hardly seems worth it since we'd only walk away with a net amount of maybe $10k, but that's after 2 years of having to pay a mortgage every month... it's not just hands off...

Got any generic tips? I'm in Australia so I'm no competition. ;)
