Civil - you are spot on. Ha!

Thanks for specific details. 
Keep in mind that many rural areas also follow strict city guidelines/ regulation.

For example: 

Many rural areas are under development so you will need utilities.

That being said many counties outside Houston call for specific area limits.

1 acre only allowed for septic/water well.

60 linear foot access road for emergency vehicles etc.

That will totally impact your business model. I live outside of Houston (Fort Bend) and buy city lots, engineer, build and then sell. But trying this flipping business now.
So, I see the risk involved so use caution and do your research per each city codes because they are all different. 

Good luck -

Sounds solid but one question. Since we know that construction workers are the major occupant and I see so many RV spots popping up in the Houston area, how do you plan to prepare a get out plan? As we know that RV's spots are only temporary. Good Luck. 

Hi Jenny 

Too risky but try to get a hard bid from a reliable contractor. Your AC Unit alone will be ~$6k-7k repair cost. I build and buy in atea and notice construction taking longer and schedule could impact you in your cash flow.
