Altough you finish all your things up still government can always take it all directly because they have a power to do it. When you deal with government I dont think you can win in their fight. They will use all of their power to get what they want from you altough it doesnt belong to them so its too risky to have land as your investment
They can't do that even if we think that government officials are bad still theres a official that have a good intention and he/she can help you if the government do that to you.
