I hired a surveyor to do a site plan, which he did and which he stamped.

They used to have a list on their site of states they don't cover for background for about 24 states but they removed it and told me I need to call.

However, from my understanding on this, it’s not a public database like a Secretary of State site, but rather only available to limited parties.

Best sites to market your property, the Sec 8 site.

Either way buying it and having on site will save you time and labor costs provided it fits the space and works with the existing drain. 

Skip Tracing, you can use Whitepages.com or any number of other sites to look up the owner's info and you can call them on the phone.3.

Do you keep it on your windshield in plain site or locked away in a vault?

I think there are some sites that let you post land to camp on (i.e. tents).I'm not sure what the weather is like there as the only thing I know about new mexico is what I saw from breaking bad. :-)   But you might want to even consider putting up a yurt (glorified commercial tents that are relatively cheap) and furnishing it and then renting the place out on airbnb.Is there good fishing on that river?

If so, this site will be a game changer for me.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.
