From time to time, my dad (who lives where I invest) will go to a property to meet with a tradesman, unlock a door or perform a random task (like empty the coin op washer/dryer).

Either the receipts, or the photographs?  

We hired a photographer to do day and night pics- expect those back later this week for the listing. 

Yes, you would be able to tell someone snuck in a dog by the hair in the house, but if you want the guests to pay for extra cleaning fees it helps to have photographic evidence.

The home I had inspected has a steep roof and very difficult to inspect by foot, but Nick had a solution by using his drone to take detailed photographs of the home and garage roof's.

And if you ever do get that 1/10 that looks better, it’s often worth asking to photograph the unit with their items in it for advertising purposes.

It costs $200 to unlock and then lock it when the interest goes down.  

I hope your photographer isn't reading this.

I have been able to maintain bookings with various strategies such as decorating, making the living area appear lively or memorable, hiring a professional photographer, frequently changing the listing to keep it up to date, and consistently thinking of other amenities I could add.

You need 30 good photographs of the house, take them from low so the rooms appear large with bright diffused lighting.Places to list it:apartments.com; zillow; craigs list; facebook marketplaceIn the listing detail the neighborhood school, amenities, if you are paying for gardener etc., at the end you mention you want someone with 3 or 4 times the rent as monthly income, and great credit.
