Although there maybe some great places to find cloud mining offers,
I believe a good majority of them have some hefty fees.
You could try renting a rig but the profitability is extremely low for obvious reasons
Rig leasers need to make money too

I think you might want to correct that last statement to read, "...profitability is nonexistent...".
Company X will not rent you a rig for less than they'd make keeping the coins it can mine in the same timeframe. For example, if a rig is expected to make 1
BTC a week, a company is not going to rent you that machine (one that they are maintaining, paying costs for, etc) for less than that 1
BTC. The only exception I could think of would be a "try before you buy" kind of promotion. Some of the cloud mining providers did the same sort of thing by offering up small GH/s contracts for free... or giving them away in contests.
