Return all data from 1st Table, and only 1 data from 2nd Table if exist

I am using MySql.

I have 2 tables, one is a list of names and data with primary key propertyId.

table 2 contains images with primary key propertyImageId.

Each propertyId may have multiple images or NO images at all.

I need to get a list of all the propertyId that belongs to agentId = 1, regardless whether it has images or not.

'SELECT a.*, b.* 
FROM property a LEFT OUTER JOIN property_images b 
ON a.propertyId = b.propertyId 
INNER JOIN 
( SELECT propertyId, MAX(created) maxCreated 
FROM property_images 
GROUP BY propertyId) c 
ON b.propertyId = c.propertyId ANd b.created = c.maxCreated 
WHERE agentId = 1 ');

I'm trying a similar solution provided here MySQL INNER JOIN select only one row from second table

However, it only returns propertyId if images exist. What can I do so that it will return all the propertyId from property regardless whether property_images exist or not?

Been working on this, any help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you!!

You can rewrite your query as below, The inner query gets single image per property id with highest created column value

SELECT 
  a.*,
  b.* 
FROM
  property a 
  LEFT JOIN 
    (SELECT 
      c.* 
    FROM
      property_images c 
      LEFT JOIN property_images d 
        ON c.propertyId = d.propertyId 
        AND c.created < d.created 
    WHERE d.propertyId IS NULL) b 
    ON a.propertyId = b.propertyId 
WHERE a.agentId = 1
