We have a couple of exterior photos.Every STR we have stayed at without exterior photos was dumpy.

The term curb appeal is simply referring to the home's exterior being appealing, which doesn't have anything to do with plants or pots or items directly.

I'm a pretty handy guy but this would be outside of my realm, but my experience helps me understand how much this type of improvement should cost.Improvements: remodel kitchen and bathroom, paint interior, fix exterior scafolding.How should I go about finding a contractor?

The companies you will find in the lender finder section of BP are probably mostly companies as opposed to a private person like you are referring to.

If you found this buyer I would say that its worth finding and then looking for the sellers but I believe that would take a lot more time than finding sellers and getting a bunch of buyers as opposed to just 1.

In terms of maintenance, they are generally safer because you are not responsible for the exterior and common areas and potential leaks, etc.
