1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:
i. receiving, by at least one computer processor, a first image taken in a first position within a particular location on a particular property;
ii. receiving, by at least one computer processor, a second image taken in a second position within the particular location on the particular property;
iii. determining, by at least one computer processor, a first virtual position within a 3-D representation of the particular property that generally corresponds to the first position;
iv. determining, by at least one computer processor, a second virtual position within the 3-D representation of the particular property that generally corresponds to the second position;
v. after receiving the first and second images, combining, by at least one computer processor, the first image, the second image, and the 3-D representation so that the first position of the first image generally corresponds to the first virtual position within the 3-D representation and the second position of the second image generally corresponds to the second virtual position within the 3-D representation; and
vi. at least partially in response to combining the first image, the second image, and the 3-D representation, generating, by at least one computer processor, an enhanced representation of the particular property that includes the first image, the second image, and the 3-D representation of the particular property, wherein:
1. combining the first image, the second image, and the 3-D representation comprises combining a portion of the first image with a portion of the second image; and
2. the enhanced representation of the particular property includes the portion of the first image, the portion of the second image, and the 3-D representation of the particular property, wherein:
a. the portion of the first image comprises less than all of the first image, and the portion of the second image comprises less than all of the second image.
