A pair "problem" loans... I know I should be able to do better

All,

I have two loans on one property which I have been going in circles trying to figure out how to make it "better". "Better" for me is almost always focused on cash-flow. Here is the information on the loans:

1st
Principal: $54,000
Rate: 7.14%
8.5 years in on 30 years

2nd
Principal: $21,000
Rate: 7.64%
7 years in on 30 years

Note: Please don't beat me up on the original rates, I was just getting involved at this point.

The problem:

The property they are on does just fine on cash-flow, and some of the amount financed was used to buy other properties. Don't infer that the property cost me these amounts to buy and run. Unfortunately, I "would be hard pressed" (from a local appraiser contact) to get the property to appraise for $100k (even though the city assesses it at $128k).

So... all you experienced financiers and deal makers, how do I get these "better"?

Possibly useful info:
I have several other properties in the locale. All of which have a mortgage on them and are "small" mortgages because the properties themselves were inexpensive. There is some equity in every other property. These are all commercial mortgages from a local bank.

I have a solid day job and a high-end credit score.
