Using one property as collateral to buy a second property?

Would it be possible to use a current condominium as collateral to purchase (trade up) to a second condo with the idea of moving from the first one to the second condo? The reason I ask is because I would like to move to Springfield, IL, but may have to settle for the Champaign-Urbana area if nothing materializes in Springfield over a specific time-frame. If I bought a property in Champaign, I would look to transition to Springfield as soon as a desirable property was available. Thanks for your time.

Is land a good investment?

We've wanted to buy a second home with the hope of renting it, but financially that is out of reach right now. So, we're considering buying land and just waiting to build until we have the finances to do so. I know it wouldn't give us an income like a rental, but it's also something we can afford and would hopefully gain value over time. Worst case, we would sell it in the future. So, is land a good investment?
