A lot of time said third parties are just inexperienced and have tunnel vision on getting a deal closed, so as the buyer, I try to do all my homework since I know that wholeseller, agent/broker, seller just want to make their money and move on with life.

An agent with negotiating skills, ethics and long term vision is your best bet.

He may be trying to pick properties that he would buy, which can be hard to do if you two don't share the same vision or preferences in properties.

I listen to my clients but I also use my knowledge of real estate to ask questions and possibly expand their vision.  

You are on the right track, needing high quality video and night vision...5MP cameras are great, BUT you also have to pay attention to the angle of field of view.

Fresh water by then might become more valuable than oil in this dystopia vision of the future.  

I have some new investors looking at options and I recently read this article in Crain's about Sam Zell and his experience and vision of the future of Mobile Homes and thought I would look to the BP community to get your feedback, thoughts and experiences.

The baby, being Connected Investor's vision is pure and innocent.

I like that you have short term goals and a long term vision as well, awesome.Since you're looking to get into buy & hold investing, do some research on the 50% rule.
