Question

How can one make a pruzbul for someone who borrowed money from me, given that a pruzbul can only be made if the borrower has land? 

Answer

It is possible to temporarily transfer land to the borrower. However, in practice, this is almost irrelevant in our times, as every young person has money owed to them in the 'Savings for Every Child' program, and thus the borrower has a loan with the investment company, which owns land. It has been ruled according to Halacha that it suffices if the borrower's borrower has land.
