Taking pictures of house to wholesale

Taking pictures of house to wholesale

Well, my first deal, I only had available pictures of the front of the house that made it look good. Lots of people became interested and then one of them bought it.

On this second house that I have, I tried to take very detailed pictures, including ones showing paint peeling off of walls etc. to make sure investors knew what they were getting into. But now, I didn't get anyone interested.

So do you think it is better to take those ones showing the bad stuff or try to focus more on the better parts of the house?

    Hi Jeff, I am currently building my buyers list and searching for properties for my first deal. Can you give me some details about your first deal, was it easy... hard, did you do a double closing? Any surprises?

    Jeff,

    I take many photos of the homes I sell. I take pics of the furnace and hot water heater and everything else. I do not take close up shots of things like paint peeling or anything like that for the simple fact is that once someone buys the home the contractor is going to fix all of that anyways. I do not mislead anyone but sometimes you need to take photo's that will look good. Also take photo's of the street scene, people like to know what the street area looks like.
