In order to replace my working income and as a precurser to cash flow during retirement.I am also very interested in fix and flips as a hobby to do with my wife.My real estate goal is to replace me ~$34,000 income by the time I am 30.

And they let you get the perfect replacement properties in place prior to executing the sale of your old property. 

Using the sales proceeds in the 1031 as down payments on bigger or more replacements is a very common strategy.  

I dont think its a deal breaker but they will need to be replaced eventually.

I'm a marine engineer by training who went to the USMMA at Kings Point.

It is very easy to give textbook advice (spend more $$, replace everything, dont get multiple quotes). 

So if you're wanting to keep your deferral options under 1031 but get some relief from the time constraints why not counter with a floating closing date contingent on your finding good replacement 1031 property/properties. 

They send the worst third party contractors, authorize the least amount of repairs, and take an unacceptable amount of time to dispatch folks and make decisions on how a repair/replacement is to be handled, while your tenants are without their appliance what seems like FOREVER.

The roof structure was caving in, the dormer was not put in right and showed signs of leaking, floors where very oft needing a complete replacement, furnace and water heater was under water and now needs to be replaced, the downstairs basement had signs of mold.The positive side of things was the lot, the lot was very large.So my question to the community is(1) Is this normal in foreclosure property?

They always replace it with a clear plastic blank plate though.
