You could 1031 into a SFR that by coincidence happens to be just like a dream house you'd like to have. Then, after a reasonable period (say 2 taxable years later) you could decide to convert it to your new personal residence.

You'd have to be a landlord for a while longer, but a SFR is easier to manage than a 4-plex.

Or, check how much tax you'll get hit for. In CA, it's usually about 23-26% of the profit, federal and state. Taking capital losses should help, if you have any.
