Professional photos for a rental

Hey BP,

Why are the pros and cons of taking your own photos vs hiring a professional to take pictures to advertise your rental?

Do you hire professionals? Do you specifically do it yourself?

Anyone seen a difference in quality of tenant/applications/higher rents for professional photos?

In the same line of thinking - does anyone find value in providing a top down layout view of a rental as a photo? I’m seeing it more and more in sale listings.

Small touch of color: the unit I am going to photo has a challenging layout for kitchen and bath, both are essentially galley style, long and narrow.

(Caveat - I’m assuming that like me, most are not amateur photographers, etc)
