@Micah Loewen if you can't fix it the additional language just draws attention to it.

I mean… Would we even get THAT much more in the end with a realtor, given that (as I understand it), most investors pay all closing costs and we wouldn’t have to pay a realtor fee?

It would have been nice to pay lower for the property but from what I can see from the appraisal, the appraiser took into account properties with similar rent values which brought the appraised value back up the second time around. 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Sports teams have brought some of that attention. 

Never choose the cheapest bid.. or you’ll pay..

That may have been from a transaction you had along the way by writing a check or putting your account number for automatic bill paying.

You may have to pay some costs for building out of your pocket. 

I initially rented the home $150 less than similar homes at the time because the tenant was a "known" person and they could not pay more (at the time the tenant had a lower paying job than today), plus it was convenient for me to have someone mover right away.

.* Since you didn't significantly change the condition or quality of the property, any increase in value would be due to either you paying under market value originally, or appreciation due to buyers paying more for similar properties in the area.
