I wouldn't mind seeing the ability for Manors to be purchasable by a free-lancer.
Treat them similar to a enterprise. If you're at war with the owning faction, your manor is under sequestration. Just put an over-seer at each manor that you buy them off of (requires a non-negative rep with faction/village/Lord), and if you aren't the owner of the connected fief, the owning lord take a 10-20% revenue tax on your manor's output.
Because it does make sense that a wealthy merchant could settle down somewhere without having to directly involve themselves in direct politics.
