"...studies found that those who sold their land trust homes gained modest proceeds ranging from about $8,000 to $17,500, representing annual rates of return from 22.1 percent to 38.7 percent...and most land trust homeowners are improving their financial situation to the point where they can afford to buy at market prices."
