Wow. I'm amazed that you got such a work-out considering you otherwise wouldn't have qualified under any means testing scenario.
I don't think that your income properties will ever give you a return on your investment. With the interest you are paying, even with a run-up in the value and yearly increases in rent, you will cover all your costs.
You should make sure your tax situation is straight on these. You should be able to depreciate these assets and deduct all your costs to offset any income, plus some income from your business. All your rebuilding costs from your tenant could also be deductable expense.
