# Property

Upland is one of the most dynamic virtual city builders, and it all starts with acquiring properties.

Players use properties to:

* Earn passive UPX through property yields
* Complete property Collections
* Gain a foothold in key locations

Here's a brief introduction to the different types of properties. Visit the Cities and Properties section of the guide for more information on buying and selling properties as well as property Collections.

#### Property Color Coding <a href="#property-color-coding" id="property-color-coding"></a>

* **Bright Green Property:** Unlocked properties that are currently unminted. By minting it, you'd become the property's very first owner.
* **FSA Property:** Fair Start Act, or FSA, properties are reserved for newer players, and are generally less expensive than non-FSA properties. We highly recommend new players (Visitors and Uplanders) to buy FSA.
* **Dark Green Property:** These are owned, minted properties that are currently listed on the secondary market for other Uplanders to purchase.
* **Blue Property:** These are owned, minted properties that are owned by other players and ***not*** currently listed on the secondary market.
* **Dark Blue Property:** These are minted properties that you currently own.‍
* **Gray Property:** These are locked, unminted properties (never minted on the blockchain) that have not been opened for minting yet.
