I tried to google but could only find vacantion-like sites with exorbitant prices.- Is there a kind of person who could help me with pre-sale improvements (roughly saying, to tell me what is worth replacing, improving, etc and what is not,1 to make the house more attractive for the buyer)?

Hello all, just made my account here on the site to get some advice.

Is looking online at sites like LoopNet sufficient? 

You can check out sites like Zillow or Redfin to see what houses are selling for and what rental prices look like in your chosen market. 

Besides land, infrastructure/site work, and the building construction itself, am I missing any other major category of costs?

This is what I did for a cabin I built in Gatlinburg:  We took a few royalty-free photos of the area off of the internet, and submitted them to an art site online whereby they make a painting of the photo.  

It's not perfect, but I like to read the reviews from residents on the site 

I watched my parents flip houses since I was little and have always been on job sites or made "pocket money" by doing chores like painting fences or washing kitchen cabinets, which I realize now my parents were putting us to work to build that sweat equity.

Hello everyone,I was wondering what everyone thought on the 2 sites: Propstream and Propwire? 

At the end of the day vet these lead gen sites/companies on a short-term basis, then flip to something else if the leads are not working while having the right expectations.
