Sounds like you have a highly subsidized mortgage. That's why you're being downvoted. Investments are supposed to have risk. The risk of not making a profit is what you take on when you purchase real estate as an investment. It is not a renters problem whether you are profitable or not.

The only benefit I get by continuing to own the property is the appreciation in equity and principle payments to the mortgage.

Sounds like you're still getting a sweet deal then. Once the mortgage is paid off you will own property outright that you paid very little for compared to it's value.
