This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

My agent was a very nice older lady, but no idea about investing, it all worked out and once the first rent checks started coming in started gaining some confidence.

But once I got the bills, I increased the rent with the tenant's approval and signed an addendum to the lease stating the rent increase would be X and the owner would take over utilities.

It's kind of disconcerting when I can only raise rents by 5% but insurance is increasing by 10% to 15% per year. 

If the agent you work with is not familiar make sure the lender is, so you have someone who can confidently navigate this path for you.

Quote from @Marc Shin: @Keagan Scott on any advice you have to help me increase my bookings would be appreciated! 

That then registers the property at a new “base rate” and your future rent increases all be “base rate” + Inflation as guided by the town.

I came up with this list:region-name:mean-appreciation-10yr:mean-rtpLakeland, FL126.410558160.67416071McAllen, TX69.291962160.68613497Memphis, TN65.483403280.72944333Dayton, OH61.835908900.67836146Pittsburgh, PA57.910773040.65368893Greensboro, NC53.139561620.70635074Youngstown, OH51.949742310.65324659Winston-Salem, NC51.927254160.78515147Rochester, NY48.997707890.66227973Augusta, GA48.206020240.65745314Toledo, OH47.582768950.72120593New York, NY40.920532060.99205336Syracuse, NY39.811672470.73856038Columbia, SC35.113673200.68110439Jackson, MS33.014655470.79068896El Paso, TX31.686361650.72477202Scranton, PA31.550057410.74227059I'm somewhat confident in the data, but not 100%.

This would increase the benefit to where the fee would not be so outrageous that it would hinder the investment.
