We may see some reduction in rates this year on the fed rate side, but people need to understand interest rates are tied to the 10 year treasury and not the fed rate. 

Prior to thinking about a rent reduction, wait two to four weeks, keep an eye on local rental costs, and interest rates.

If the LTV is within the lnder's acceptable range, typically 75%-80% for commercial properties, the equity you've already built can satisfy the down payment requirement for the new loan.For example, if your property is appraised at $350K at the time of refinancing and the lender requires a 10% down payment ($35K), your existing equity ($50K down payment plus any principal reduction) would more than cover this, eliminating the need for additional cash outlay.

Principal reduction isn’t included.

Since the interest rates are lower, try the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (VA IRRRL).

You could also ask the seller for a reduction, he's probably not happy about this either....
