Is land a good investment?

We've wanted to buy a second home with the hope of renting it, but financially that is out of reach right now. So, we're considering buying land and just waiting to build until we have the finances to do so. I know it wouldn't give us an income like a rental, but it's also something we can afford and would hopefully gain value over time. Worst case, we would sell it in the future. So, is land a good investment?

Can my house not be photographed?

We're selling our house. Can we ask that the inside of our house not be photographed? We're private people and don't want photos of our house or our kids rooms floating around or put on social media. We have professional listing photos, and would prefer that any potential buyer refer to those. We could even compromise and allow personal photos after an offer is put in. However, we don't want casual buyers coming through our house and taking photos and videos of it. It makes us uncomfortable. How do we navigate this?

The state wants to buy my house?

The state wants to buy my house, but I don't want to move. Do I have to sell it to them? I also think I could get more for my house than what the state is offering me. Do I use a real estate agent to negotiate for me? Or do I get a lawyer? It doesn't seem right that they can just take my house and lowball me.
