But the briefcase full of Ben Franklins  would be cool , a couple of guys wearing Fedoras , smoking cigars , counting out  $ 400K in cash .

Ben,Some ideas:If you don't need all cash:Lease/optionSub2Cash out equity, and put them on an assumable blanket mortgage, then sell with the assumable.If you need all cash:Price them at a 10%+ cap rateOffer to hold a second, have the buyer put some cash on the table, with first mortgage.Sell them individually to one person (I know you said as a package, but thinking creatively)If you are looking for buyers, then it's the whole marketing angle, Craigslist, Internet MLS, BiggerPockets marketplace (with correct membership) etc.

So your plan to sell two out of three and then refinance is pretty sound - especially if the last property standing is a tuna that deserves keeping.Both @Ben Freiman and @Jim Murray have the same great idea. 

@Ben Wilkins Thank you for the compliment!

@Ben Hooper  I think we met at the Airbnb Meetup.
