The difference in paying down an 8% loan vice a 7% loan on a $250,000 balance is $208 a month, which could cover most of the CapEx for one of your units.  

Even if you found one to do more, you are going to see an increased interest rate from the 3.75% you  currently have so I don't think the tradeoff would work.....I believe that this property, in that area, is a sound investment and one you want to hold on to to build long term wealth, vice short term income.

But as Wall Street backed off, smaller investors picked up the slack, aided by tools developed to help big investors find, finance, and manage rental properties.Smaller investors—particularly those who have already paid off their mortgages on the homes they live in—see rental properties as an attractive way to save for retirement.To some extent, they’re focusing their resources on cheaper markets, because the profit margins are better at lower price points, said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at Attom Data Solutions.
