My wife and I have 4 long-term rental units and looking for a better way to manage/track expenses/income.

And if veil hasn’t been pierced by now, it likely will be within a short period of time for another reason.

It is less expensive than one year at a good college and 10 times more valuable in terms of the education you will receive.  

You CAN’T be successful doing it without capital4.

I'm thinking one might be that it wouldn't show established long-term tenancy in the case that I may want/need to for lending purposes. 

This situation is such a long one but I will try to keep it short and to the point.

Your list looks good but as others mentioned it doesn't hurt to think long term and explore refi options as well.

If you do not understand how NOI and cap rate determine value, learn it even if in theory it only applies to commercial RE.If you flip, you realize the gain in the short term.
