Can a person take pictures of properties from a private airplane and
charge for doing it?
What kind of license or permits do they need to do this?

That is a commercial operation that depends on an airplane -- he said
so!

I'm making a distinction between flying for hire and flying for one's own
business purposes. Just as a private pilot can fly between his offices in
different cities for business purposes, he can fly for the purpose of taking
pictures. If he transports someone _else_ who acts as photographer, though,
the situation may change.
