Quote from @Jonathan Klemm: Sounds like you are no doubt heading in the right direction @Jason B.!  

Sounds like you've stumbled onto a tremendous investment opportunity, if you're willing to take on the rehab risk you mention above.

You have the means to purchase and intend to offer owner financing (you) to the buyers of your lots.That sounds pretty straight forward as long as you are able to carry the loans and deal with any defaults.I don't have a background in raw land deals, so that's all I got.Thanks for the feedback and I will keep these things in mind as I move forward. 

Sounds like a good situation from the employment perspective.
