Just sell and don’t claim anything if you’ve owned the home for a few years. They’re less likely to catch it if you’re not selling multiple properties in consecutive years.

Did this with a rental in 2022 and never heard a peep. Worst case scenario they catch it and send you a bill for what you would’ve paid anyways. Worth the risk.

1031 only applies if you are using the proceeds to purchase a similar type property. You have to identify a new property at time of sale. This doesn't meet your goal of liquidity.

I did briefly before I moved. I don’t plan on buying another property so not sure I can do 1031


Well that's a vital piece of this puzzle
