Driving for Dollars - Taking Pictures

Jason King

Hi Everyone, 

I had a quick question about driving for dollars - is it ok to take pictures of random people's houses?  I am trying to document as much as I can during the process and want to provide commentary as to why I flagged it; having a general picture of the property would help jog my memory.

Thanks for the help!

If Google can send one of their vehicles out and take pics of any property on the streets that they drive on, why could not anyone else take one?  True some areas might have some weird rules but if you are not being obvious, I see no problem on taking a few pics.  

Most times, I can get a decent outside pic of houses via Google that is less than 2 years old.  Of course, if you want to document the overgrown grass or boarded up windows, your own pic would be better. 

Maybe you could hook up a Go Pro to your roof rack so you do not even have to stop to get pics.. and you could write off the price of a Go Pro to your biz :)
