I wouldn't characterize it as "rough", as rough in LA or Indianapolis means significantly more crime and boarded up houses.We are now in the fortunate (and somewhat surprising) situation where we are sitting on a property with a decent amount of unrealized equity, but which at the same time, is highly sub-optimal in terms of size/layout, so we are trying to consider/evaluate our options.It is possible that the best course of action may be to do nothing, but any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated.Thanks for your input.
