from my advice rural properties and developments aren't successful and you are climbing an uphill battle. sounds a little niche. we focus on developing and not reinventing the wheel. if this is truly what you want to focus all your time and energy on then visit the closest 5-10 of these that look like the ones you are interested and ask if they'd expand or build a secondary one. do a lot of research before you just take action 

Underlying Truth: Jake’s actions are rooted in insecurity.

I bought 14 houses basically for free by harvesting the equity in my houses by doing 5 cash out refis.

., I'm so glad to hear that our booked helped you take action!

For us, still in a growth mode, we take action and figure out how to redeploy that equity into other real estate through either cash-out refinancing or selling and 1031! 

Local investors can now get additional discounts by moving up the food chain and buying as notes and, on mortgages secured by vacant properties, utilizing the preREO strategy to generate revenue during foreclosure process.

I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

Dial in your buy box, then be swift/actionable when ready.

I would say the posts above are great ideas to try first before taking legal action.

If it was secured by real estate then there should be a mortgage recorded at the county and those get transferred by a corresponding assignment of mortgage.
