Your issue more so is the seasoning period for the refinance is what it sounds like.

Now, moving forward he offered for us to take it over completely.

But it sounds like your agreeing a no-contingency sale is more unrealistic here. 

That all sounds good and I'll take a look into that market.

@Roger CreekmoreMini splits sound like the best option from the cheap seats. 

If you've done a complete renovation—say, updating a 60-year-old building to 2025 standards—their quote could be outstanding.

This sounds risky, are you being compensated by additional rent and have you checked with your insurance to ensure you are covered. 

With the equity you’d free up, paying off $50k in personal debt and boosting your credit score while freeing up $3k/month sounds like it could significantly lower your stress and open doors for future projects.That said, selling means you’d lose a cash-flowing asset, even if it’s not huge.

The plan was to have the properties completed in 6 months make some money and be on our way to real estate riches.Turns out a lot of the framing was rotten and we had to completely reframe the back of one of the houses.
