Refinance it from "foot in the door" financing to permanent financing once you improve it a bit and force the appreciation. 

@Dave Nixon Interesting you picked up on this...small town churches are dropping like flies...I manage large capital improvement projects on institutions...just keep in mind that you'll be working with a lot of different entities, including an architect/designer, engineer, industrial compliance...likely other entities from the government and/or municipality...lots of moving parts.You should be aware of Asbestos abatement and concerns like underground storage tanks...which are very common in all these buildings you are referencing...design and abatement fees may run hundreds of thousands of dollars before the project even starts...Not saying you can't pull it off, just be aware...good luck! 

It’ll make it a lot smoother and more efficient for both of your guys time.

If you are able to run things more efficiently, if you have contacts for lower repair costs, if you're able to get a new electricity contract, then you can lower expenses all over the place.

I am thinking of the following themes: Abundance, prosperity, improving quality of life/neighborhoods/properties, integrity.

I like to be as detailed as possible on the lease, and we continue to upgrade and improve it as we go.

So, that is a calculated amount based on what you paid the state, plus additional interest, assuming there have been no improvements. 

We want to sell our biggest home in hopes the cash flow can be improved by splitting it into 2-3 homes versus one.  

To get to this level, you could either pay down the loan through payments or make some improvements to the property that raise the value or wait for the market to appreciate on it's own.
