I don't vet my Vrbo guests, but they are a higher caliber than many of the Air crowd.My high rates screen out many undesirable.I do make sure they pay a pet fee if bringing pets.I have exterior cameras to keep track of things but have never had any issues in a very long time.

I bought a home for my 19 yr old daughter to own.the assessor showed up with a camera as I was gutting it walls windows doors everything.The assessor explained to me that the city had a program in place whereby the assessment for a home in need of extensive repair would be adjusted & a moratorium on tax increases would be good for 5 years.

I haven't had any crime impact my properties but I do have alarm systems and security cameras on the outside just in case.

Luckily, we installed security cameras around the building and had proof.

I always bring a notepad for noting repairs, a flashlight, a camera or smartphone, and of course all the paperwork I'm going to need (e.g. contracts).

I've combined simplisafe with a few cameras on the exterior of the property.

Not fully abandoning design, as it can be packaged in, but rather design alone just isn't worth an agent's time.To kickstart the photography aspect will take a little bit of cash as my camera is pretty out-dated and I could use some real estate specific lenses.

I put a contingency for a sewer camera inspection on every place as that $150 is worth knowing if you're going to have to replace a sewer line while you can still renegotiate or back out. 

BTW in 1999 I had a digital camera a lot like this one and I would drive neighborhoods and take pictures then mail the owner an 8.5x5.5 postcard with the pic on it.  

We use our phones as a camera.
