I don't think indexes are going to help you here - with the FULL OUTER 
JOINs, the query will have to look at and include each row from each 
table you query from anyway, so it's going to choose sequential scans. 
In addition, some of the lower join conditions are going to take forever.

What's is your goal?  The volume of data that I imagine this query would 
produce can't possibly be useful. I'm guessing at the very least you'll 
want to LEFT OUTER JOIN everything back against STG_Property, and leave 
the other join conditions out of each ON statement.
