Quote from @Case Mccarthy: I would say that you can verify these landscape items, and other exterior repairs by getting the invoice from the PM, getting a cleared check or payment and also yearly getting photos of the place by the property manager.  

They did not go to a hotel (they want an experience where the home and exterior are different than a hotel and different than their own spaces)!

Major operational standardsNo exterior signage advertising the short-term rental. 

I would do exterior landscaping, clean up the outside if that applies.

A little bit more, but worth it, never need to re-stain or mess with the exterior.. 

Maybe go visit them and see what they have to offer interior and exterior, as well as age of the units, as well as grounds keeping, as well as parking lot condition (Alligator with potholes, slurried, fresh black top with new paint lines).

The home received a complete interior and exterior renovation.

The home underwent a full interior and exterior transformation.

The home received a full transformation including updated flooring, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, fresh paint, improved lighting, and exterior enhancements that elevated curb appeal.

Especially in the back house, the exterior work will be probably $10k.
