Slowing an object down relative to ourselves for mining would be possible with alot of energy.
However the unstable nature of such objects make them a poor choice for habitation. Not to mention the massive solar radiation spikes you will get when passing too close to the sun.
Mining asteroids near a belt would be better as they aren't hurdling through the solar system.
