When killing a group or land owner, maybe a specific ability or item would let you take their plot of land after the fact, but maybe only if you do it without anyone seeing or something. Or if not that, make it purchasable at town hall or something until the associated npc respawns, then you have to do it again

I think that could work but it'd be better as an unlock rather then a default feature.
Maybe you can normally just buy them and the Investor Character can get them cheaper?
Then the Rebel could have like a Viva La Revolution perk that lets them get land by brute force?
The Reputation system could also be used so maybe you'd normally need a certain amount of rep.

There is a Perk in game (though unavailable) in the charisma tree that lets you buy land from people and also a perk that lets you become a leech (a landlord, also unavailable)

Perhaps there could be abandoned/vacant properties you could purchase by default, then the Charisma Perk could let you buy already occupied properties?
That way you could get a place with a structure already present instead of always having to chop trees down to buildone.
Plus Vacant/abandoned properties would make a great space filler without adding more actual npc filled ones.
Then the Rebels could kill to get a property which would help give them a unique default perk.

All very good takes
