I would love to connect and meet up for some coffee and discuss the market or even shoot the breeze.

The work doesn't have to be "performed" per se....but it has to be an expense that you paid for reflected on your HUD.  

Maybe have them demo a load of clothes to see how wet they are coming out of the washer (not every person knows what the clothes SHOULD look like- it could actually be an issue with the washer). 

This might be an opportunity for some creative financing, you never know.

The fact that a tenant is complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

In general, interest only debt can be an awesome tool.

There are multiple note buying/selling sites you can google up, but assuming your note has a reasonable interest rate, the note will sell at a significant discount to the current balance, so this may not be an attractive option. 

That could be an interesting approach as well. 

Unfortunately their opinions are treated as gospel so if you haven’t made any improvements this could be an issue. 

The only problem I see you having is that now that you no longer live there if your renovations only brought value up 10-20% since purchasing it a cash-out won't work since LTV on investment property refis now is usually around 70% maybe a bit higher for some banks, but if you went into the home on 5% or 10% down that will be an issue.
