I'd rather people offer their time through contractual work that raises the ceiling of my physical investment yet I keep all the equity.

The plumber will likely have to cut open the ceiling to confirm and make repairs, so you can save a little money by learning how to do that yourself, confirm the problem, and then call the plumber for repair, then patch the ceiling yourself.As Jonathan is trying to point out, it's important to expect these things and have funds on hand to deal with them.

We’ve hit the ceiling in terms of what we can push on rent, and it seems like this year might be the right time to sell.- One of our projects has fallen so far behind that the only viable option to get back on track is an early exit.

One requirement is ceiling height.  

Below that is a parlor floor, which has the highest ceiling in the building and this floor is connected to the ground floor via an interior staircase which we added doors to both ends to break up the lower duplex into two separate living areas.
