They have done it by using knowledge, skill and strategy to use property options to their advantage.
There are people earning a lot of money through the strategies of property options. But this didn't happen overnight.

Find a mentor you can trust, to teach you everything you need to know about property options, so that you're not flying blind.
A property option, simply put, is a document that represents the rights of the holder to utilize control over the property of a second person who is the seller, for a certain time period. The holder in this case is the buyer. The time period over which the property is held may vary in each case, from one to three years or so, and this is dependent on both parties agreeing to this time period.
In these cases, the option will be used if the seller doesn't wish to sell the property at this time, but rather wants to wait for a better time for himself. This gives the property time to increase its value. But whenever the buyer is ready to purchase the property in question, the seller cannot refuse the deal. He is bound by the legal document to let the property go at the price that was agreed upon.
This basic information can get you to the starting point in learning how strategies work in property options, but there is so much more to learn. Find a reputable mentor and you will find that there is money to be made here, if you know the correct way to strategize.
