It sounds like you would probably benefit from finding an experienced flipper, and asking the lend them money at a 10% interest rate. 

I don't love the idea of giving up my sub 3% mortgage rate and paying more to borrow money, but sitting on that equity and not putting it to work makes me feel I'm leaving a lot of growth on the table.
