And then they went to the bottom of our deck and took photos of our property. 

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

Let me know if you or anyone you know needs some photos taken!

Photos are professional and very nice.As for the first potential tenant, I would definitely take on a long term tenant through Airbnb, but I would be cautious about leaving the platform after the first two months.

Having a roofer come out to assess the roof or an HVAC contractor out to inventory and assess the HVAC units can often be done at a nominal expense and can uncover issues or areas of concern that would likely be missed in a more general inspection.

A good agent would provide professional photos and YouTube video every single property.

You can look for those by going to the BP Forums, enter the filter "Real Estate Events and Happenings" as shown in the photo below.

If so, you can totally make offers on properties after just doing a google street view drive by and looking at old photos of the house from Zillow.If you get the deal under contract, then you drive out to it to walk it, take pictures, and inspect.

No photos, on market a long time, gave us negotiation power.
