@Joshua McFarlin Hard to offer concrete suggestions without knowing your investment criteria, parameters and constraints.

Again, the ability to move using the 1031 into passive 1031 compliant properties is a huge potential benefit to you.

Normally they just give a certified decommission by filling them with concrete or sand and leave them buried.

Just depends on access with a concrete truck.

If this is Philadelphia, I would imagine that similar rules apply.There may not be any apparent legal issues, other than the need to evict your non-compliant tenant for creating a seemingly large issue.

You want to take a high dive into a shark tank with your feet in concrete shoes and a bleeding beef roast strapped to your back.What's stopping you from getting on Amazon.com and buying a dozen books on wholesaling?

What does one need to do in order to be compliant with the law?

It looks like some concrete in the driveway needs re-poured, maybe one/two pads. 

Roof is possibly the original, a/c is dated from late 90's but works, and most of the house has bare concrete floors, owner pulled all old flooring and trim up to install flooring, did only the kitchen and never finished the rest of the house.

He/She may have to use a RMLO to draft this new paper to be dodd frank compliant...
