With current technology, I think a digital still camera would be a better tool for this than video. Put the images on a CD-ROM.
I'd suggest talking with local homeowners insurance agents. Leave your business card and some brochures, and let them recommend you to their policyholders.
You also might want to purchase either a $1M liability policy or a bond for yourself. Advertising yourself as "bonded" can increase customer confidence.
NEVER WORK ALONE. Even if a client offers to just "leave you to get on with it". The client should be present with you at all times. After all, who else can tell you what to photograph?

I'm in an entrepreneural class, and I would like to set up a business similar to this one.
Could you send me some examples of the business names for this type of business and how much
do you start off for the first hour? I was thinking somewhere around $60-70. What would you say
is average?
