It is something I am interested in doing in the future, potentially even this year, but I am curious how to put concrete numbers to this decision.  

Factor it into your cost and decision. 

If all your eggs are in this strategy for your move, I would strongly advise doing some underwriting and research concurrently with this selling decision.

Easy decision to get rid of these tenants.  

Would love to hear any experiences in more investor friendly markets like Florida, Alabama, Ohio, Georgia, etc.Moved from Portland OR to Columbus Ohio to real estate invest and it's been the best decision I've ever made lol

However, based on your timeline, it seems like your decision may have already been made.

It would serve you well to discuss these definitions with appraisers and perhaps your local building authority before making a decision. 

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

My goal is to help my clients (and myself) make smart, practical decisions that balance cash flow, scalability, and risk which is crucial I know real estata is risky I have raised over 20 million dollars in Business Funding over last 3 years.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: My comment has nothing to do with comps and your decision to make the repair shouldn't be comp influenced either.
