  Well, you’re paying extra for all the local attractions. Like the Burger King.

    And for the lack of crime, clean sidewalks, etc. But, if squalor’s your thing…

People take the worst pictures of their properties – we recently became landlords and I hired a photographer (a friend) and she took excellent pictures of my apartment, which made the difference between a few good applications and a lot of good applications.

If you shell out $200, you own the pictures of your unit to use for the future and it’s a business expense. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want your property to look its best, especially if you’re trying to find someone who will pay $1900/mo. If I were renting, it would be a red flag that you skimp on details.

  Agreed. I personally love how all the photos are deliberately taken to hide whatever the floor is. Carpet? Wood? Parquet? You don’t know! Take a guess!

  Yeah, these pics look like ads for selling the furniture, not the apartment. Zoom out a little! No one cares about the couch or the dresser or the new box of plates on the counter. There are no pics of the closet space or W/D. Plus, there is window A/C. Not worth $1900!
