One of my life goals is to own an Airstream or something similar that I can renovate. However we live in an urban area with no place to park it. I do eventually want to own an acreage in a desirable place but that goal is much further off but I would like to start on my Airstream goal a little sooner.

The typical option is rent a space to park it. I can afford it but this feels like throwing money away especially since I have no control over the rent cost, if I’d get kicked out eventually, or maybe I just don’t get around to working on the Airstream that often. The timeline of renting is indefinite also.

The other option is buying some land on the cheap if possible. This wouldn’t be my dream land. Maybe just a lot somewhere I could park it. I would want to get rid of the land at some point to fund the purchase of my dream land and am wondering if there is some major risk to this? Or is it a good investment?

I’d imagine paying all cash for it.
