Add some unique amenities to it.

Every circumstance is unique.

Zoning, subcontractors, mother nature, P/I during construction and rent up, your loan doesn't get "fixed" until after construction, material inflation, etc, etc, etc.You have taken most of the risk off the table with family financing and family construction. 

At the end of the day, everyone's circumstance is unique so it is best to speak with a professional.

You can bring cash to the table to facilitate the refi by using savings, loan against 401k, and/or getting another loan against some other asset. 

The upstairs loft is underutilized..its just another living room, you need to do something very different there (adult games, poker, pool table, bar etc perhaps?)

I can see either a pool or a shuffleboard table in the background, and I imagine it is in a good-to-great location. 

So I have posted " many say they want to network" but ok, what do you bring to the table? 

Even if we are never compensated we definitely want to put this on the record for others or at least for the MREC.We own several units in other states and self-manage but want a PM in Baltimore because it is a unique city.I'd love to talk to you about our PM needs and I'll send you a message. 

Selling them together at a 9% cap rate would likely be successful as 8 units are unusual and the price point ($775,000) makes them accessible and unique for someone with a smaller amount who is getting started in bigger buildings What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
