Who it's for
US residents in rental-heavy cities who are organized, comfortable photographing occupied spaces responsibly, and want to serve landlords managing roughly 5–50 units. Best fit for someone with a car or transit access, a smartphone or camera, and a preference for repeat customers over one-off gigs. No inspection license is assumed, and none is needed for this scope.
About this playbook
This guide takes a determined beginner from zero to a validated, bookable rental-turnover photo reporting service in one US city. You will test the demand with interviews and paid pre-orders before you buy anything, define a written report standard a non-photographer can follow, price the work so it covers travel, storage and revisions, and run the numbers until the break-even and the stop rule are on paper. Then you register the single-member LLC, fund the start within USD 1,000–4,000, win the first ten customers by name, and read the first 90 days of real revenue against the plan. The work is limited to visual condition documentation: it does not cover home inspection, structural or code assessment, mold or lead testing, security-deposit adjudication, legal advice, or property management.

Phase 1: Test the Demand Before You Spend
0/4Pocket-money research only. Build a working list of small landlords, interview ten of them, pre-sell a sample report at the intended price, and apply kill criteria before any real purchase. This phase carries the exit ramps: a reader who learns here that nobody wants the service was served well.
