.- Key FOB and extra security are always huge.

rehabbed the trashed studio into a 1 bedroom, made repairs to broken exterior staircases, coin operated laundry room, and fixing up the garage for extra income.

Replacement cost is going to me more expensive but is worth the extra expense. 

In my guests reviews, they have mentioned this time and again and I think its worth the extra $10/stay.  

There are various programs for subsidized housing, most notably section 8, that can provide reliable income for you extra unit.

It can't hurt to have extra inspections, but your home inspector should be qualified to look at the roof, HVAC, plumbing and electrical. 

.😎)My question is...do I keep this house, have someone pay off the mortgage for me within 10yrs ( assuming i do not refinance and ensure the extra down payments happen monthly and yearly to shorten the duration).

@Brian Adzadi I like your point of how much extra you could be pushing into investments without the debt.

They do what may be more efficient for them but not necessarily the owner (I.e. replace versus troubleshoot and repair) or do what makes them more money (extra turnover work that isn't necessary). 

Relative to the $200 a month extra for MTM, leasing long term means 10 months or so is the breakeven point.
