It seems at least for the timing being that California completely disagrees with you, we defeated both proposals when it was predicted by many we would lose both, and 15 by a landslide.It would appear that using BOTH fact AND highly persuasive OPINION we turned the tide so I'm afraid your comment imtotally missed the mark, and couldn't be more misplaced.Just rejoice that we prevailed over the forces of class envy and division and Californian's categorically rejected the entitlement mentality of the "You Got,I Want,Give Me"crowd.

I prefer to have the tenant renew so the lease expirations can be better managed and better predicted. 

I'm staying in the south from here on out.It's a c-d neighborhood so turnover and evictions are predictable 

So you have no clear way to predict your future net worth and estimate an approximated point of financial independence.For each property I’ve been using a spreadsheet to calculate future value minus taxes and commissions to provide an estimated net for a certain sale date, then manually add the lump sum cash injection as an “income event” in Personal Capital, but you can’t associate any property related items together.
