Spent $500 on a drone for property shots and it basically paid for itself on the first listing.

The aerial photos got my client's rural land listing 3x the views and a serious offer within a week, which completely changed how I market anything over an acre.

Glad the drone worked out for you, but careful with saying it paid for itself on the first job. The drone itself is a cost, but you also have to factor in your time to learn to fly it, edit the photos, and the software you might use. It's a great return on investment, but the real payoff is over several listings, not just one.

Williams.luna makes a good point about hidden costs people forget. We see this everywhere where the upfront price tag hides the real work needed. The true cost of anything is always more than just the first number you see.

Paid for itself on the first listing" is a huge stretch. That $500 is still spent, it didn't magically come back. The profit from the job paid for the tool, which is different. Calling that a full payback ignores the actual cost.
