@John Matthew Johnston,  The power of the 1031 is that you get to use the deferred tax as additional buying power for your portfolio. 

If I market aggressively and try to sale quick will I have short term capital gains tax as a result?  

I don't always get what I'm looking for but am very aggressive in suggesting  "low" valuations  to get the property tax as low as possible. 

Although CA will still get their tax as long as you're a resident, I would still say that you're better off looking for a tax free state cause you never know when it's time to move to one. 

I am interested in the some of my options for avoiding capital gains tax as well as what a good option might be for reinvesting the money. 1.

Note that when you sell you want to factor in the amount of time it takes you to sell (and pay for mortgage, insurance and tax) as well as seller agent fee + Closing fee.3.
