The value of my property is my biggest asset and risk exposure, the rent is kind of inconsequential by comparison.

The 2 out of 5 years doesn't apply -- you must meet the ownership and use requirement for the entire 5 year period.Also note that unrecaptured 1250 gain and non-qualified use exposure exists just like with a normal 121 exclusion.For the latter, there is a presumption that property acquired in a 1031 exchange will be held for productive use in a business.
