What's your goal - cash flow or appreciation?

If you're making cash offers command a better price and buy properties correctly.

You need that cash if you're going to buy an investment.

I know a few RV park owners who 'pocket' a good percentage of their revenues in cash to keep taxes lowered. 

We took over the property management because the owner was having multiple issues with a few of the "tenants" that have illegally sublet the property, and we are now dealing with the ripple effects (e.g. squatters, dogs, dispute with neighbors etc.)The landlord is cash strapped, and has asked me to go in on the property/deal with him in order to get a cash infusion to cover legal fees & renovation costs. 

Not only could this negatively affect your cash flow, but it could also decrease the value of your property.

I need to place 1M in cash and at least 650 in debt to satisy my 1031.

What is the cash flow going to look?

This factor can significantly impact your cash flow potential, especially if you're contemplating a buy-and-hold strategy.
