A great lesson for both of us to pay for a camera review of the sewer pipes as an addition to the home inspection.   

We invested in a camera a long time ago and use high resolution wide angle shots for all of our listings for both sale and for rent.

So I really can't speak to that... although with a new acquisition I would recommend "scoping" the main drain by running a camera to inspect it.  

They may have photoshopped out the glass door in the right picture as you can see the reflection of the camera on the wall.

My husband will be taking more professional photos with his fancy cameras after the Christmas frenzy.

Free Mozzarella sticks and a disposable camera at the right moment could be more memorable than an extra free night. 

I would call for a camera inspection of the main line, the cost $230, a collapse sewer line could run $5000+ for a replacement or $2000 per partial replacement repair.

The residents started a fund to put up security cameras on a few pointed corners.  

Just have good security system (video camera, every door secured entry) and you should be fine.

@David Zocchi -- I actually looked at a fourplex in this area, so I have a story that will help add some context to the neighborhood...The numbers looked great on paper, and the price was right, so my client was quite excited to go and view the property and make an offer...As soon as we turn the corner into the neighborhood, there was a guy with a couple pitbulls nearby throwing money into the air and rapping into the camera while filming a rap video with his friends.
