How much do pictures of your listing matter, according to you? I'm hitting a wall with renting my property, and I wonder if I need updated pictures. I don't want to sound miserly, but anyone I've spoken to about professional photos for the house has quoted $400. That's insane! What do you do when you want to get better pictures for your spot?

Honestly, when we've been looking for a place, picture quality isn't the biggest factor as long as they cover the whole place and are not blurry/ looking like they came from my moms camera phone in 2006. Offering the floor plan up front is a HUGE plus when I'm searching.

Unless your pics are thorough enough for me to grasp floor plan just from the photo tour, please include at least a general layout. Doesn't even have to be perfectly to scale either. Just trying to understand flow and what walls have what on each side.

Buy a ring light and take photos of them yourself?

What market are you in? In many major markets , you can find someone who can do listing photos for $100 to $200. If you’re in a smaller market, it might be harder to find a competitive price like that due to less competition.

Professional photos make a big difference in appealing to tenants, but so does location, amenities, and price. If your place is in a less desirable neighborhood, or doesn’t have key amenities compared to similar properties, or is overpriced compared to similar properties, then photos won’t change much.

Photos matter a ton. I agree $400 stings, but it can easily pay off in speed and price. If pro shots are out of budget, maybe borrow a good camera, shoot during daylight, declutter like crazy, and watch a few “DIY real estate photography” videos.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
