Not to mention biggest holder of U.S. debt is China so.... yeah.... could be a ultimate F-U card to play, would cost lopping off a limb for U.S. to do it but could decapitate China so, worth it, maybe? 

I'm considering Airbnb-ing it, because I don't need any of the furniture in the home and mostly everything is new.   

This is the section I’m still reeling over from § 227-f:“No landlord of a residential premises shall refuse to rent or offer a lease to a potential tenant on the basis that the potential tenant was involved in a past or pending landlord-tenant action or summary proceeding under article seven of the real property actions and proceedings law.

If I could go back in time to when I was young and fearful, clueless, following that flawed advice of do nothing unless it's this perfect cash-cow, I'd say "F-that just get one NOW, time will make it a cash-cow, GET GOING".

It's f-ing expensive out there, so the Airbnb arbitrage is awesome. 

What are some common issues you run into AirBnb-ing over here

Quote from @Colleen F.: @Lesley Martin curious, why do you want the credit score higher and what is it now?   

And then it should be more complicated (to me anyway) since you are only 1031'ing "half the property" since only half was for investment.Honestly, if you could just straight sell and pay the tax, you are walking away with ~$1.9mil less whatever is your lien (no matter what you'd have to satisfy the lien unless you want to go down route of subject-to or other more complicated arrangements.).
