This looked intriguing, but I'm worried that YNAB is less user friendly for my situation.Queue the back story: I work as a realtor with a small RE investment portfolio, and my wife is a more stable W2 Engineer. 

I think you can sell with a tenant in place, I did it with a small condo a few years ago.  

No question is ever too small or “stupid” here—curiosity and determination are key to success in this business.

Hello, I have a small multi-unit rental in Adams County, Colorado. 

I am looking to get into investing specifically house hacking and am searching for a small multi fam (duplex, tri, or quad) and haven't found the one yet.

. $90/month X 12 = $1080 increase in NOI, at a 10% cap rate that small change increases the value of that property by a whopping (1080/10%=$10,800)!

Lots of the items you listed are small ticket items that are a cost of doing business and owning rentals.

Start small with a multifamily property in areas showing job growth, population increases, or redevelopment potential.

Perhaps you get lucky if you are selling a small sample size but if you sell volume you will find this to be the reality more times than not.
