I suppose I have not accounted for snow removal/lawn service but my numbers reflect over 50% expenses

Most not interested at all and were just removed from the list.

My company pays for my rental car, gas, food, and lodging for the 8 more months that I will be working in CO; they only do this so long as I (at least on paper), LIVE more than 50 miles from where I work.

Here's a example using a large coke and a fast food restaurant.

If they stay, you get the increased rents.Alternatively, you could just give them a notice to vacate and do your renovations.The next time you buy a place with the intention of renovating to refinance, just make removal of the current tenants a condition of the sale.

More food for thought, fear comes in many forms, allowing a fear of receiving negative feedback is not worth passing up the opportunity to network with others by letting them know what you do.

I'm wondering if I need to look higher on the food chain.

If anything, it's food for thought.

Snow removal, utility bills, any cap-EX needed (doesn't sound like it needs any), problem tenants, and property taxes.THe 12 unit I am looking at now has had significant updates just like yours but the property taxes almost kill the deal at $2K per month alone.
