video tours of rentals
Does anyone else provide video tours of your rentals to prospective tenants? I've been doing it for a few years and I've found it to be a great tool for both screening uninterested (time savings-fewer wasted showings) and also for drawing in those who find the place a good match.
I've been taking these videos with my cell phone camera, which means they are somewhat unsteady. Is there a way to make them more professional? A tripod on wheels? (though you'd still have to carry it up stairs. Youtube does have a stabilizer tool that helps (though also makes it kind of weird too).
