In Storm King's Thunder, our group has visited Amphail and found it severely damaged by marauding hill giants. There was an NPC (some minor noble) who was visiting after the attacks and he was advancing money for locals to rebuild their houses and businesses in exchange for their selling the land under it.

With the wealth my character amassed from adventuring, he could have put forward a counter offer on a number of these (though probably not all) and essentially buy a significant portion the town.

I opted not to have my character pursue this because it would probably have been a big distraction from the main quest line. But if I had, what sort of difficulty would my character have encountered (from a lore point).

I have read on the Forgotten Realms Wiki that:

Waterdhavian guards [patrol Ampahil] from Rassalantar.

But it's not clear to me that a benevolent takeover of Amphail would necessarily bring my character into conflict with any waterlords. Am I wrong? Is there some other (non logistical) problem I'm missing?

What difficulties would a character encounter if they tried to take Amphail as a protectorate?
