The loan requires a safety inspection (and often required repairs) as well as that the property appraise and they generally make for a slower closing. 

And breaking it into multiple transactions like @Jacqueline Gardiner said will let you maximize sales price.This hybrid approach (having some free and clear and having others leveraged) gives you a lot of safety net as the paid off properties are out of harms way from debt risk. 

Be patient (heh).
