Partner up with someone to invest in your property with cash based on future appreciation ( a very slim chance of finding anyone) This reduces your mortgage and increases your principal payment that further reduces your mort balance.

Anyone can pull a business license and buy insurance, it doesn’t mean that they are legally working as contractor or “handyman”, with that said, you have legally very slim to no recourse when it comes to court.

Leaving in my opinion a very slim margin or the home to sell at market value. 

If deal is slim could be a killer.

Too slim of margins due to the brokers cut.

The margins are slim.

It's a slim deal because at lower rental rates like you have, expenses eat away at cash flow very quickly.
