A paid off property at 5-6 cap rate should also appreciate at about 3.4% per year on average, so my real estate return at 8.4%-9.4% is reasonably close to what I'd expect in the stock market, and the income is tax advantaged.

Currently I have about $1M sunk into a previous business venture, so I expected I would have to pull some equity out but wanted to explore all options first. 

As a CPA and real estate investor who is a general partner in two syndications, I want to share some practical advice to set realistic expectations.

After some minor maintenance projects and improvements, have had very few issues and cashflow has been slightly better than expected.

I get a little bit if you paying cash.ya again the cash flow is everything and I dont care if it appreciates or I dont expect the property to appreciate..

Core CPI levels came in this week a touch higher than expected: 1 month: 3.8%, 3 months: 3.7%, 6 months: 2.9%, and 12 months: 3.3%.

When they do, expect much lower leverage.It sounds like you haven’t purchased the land yet.

One side can't be expected to just eat the vagueness.

The expectations in your market may differ!

But I do have an issue with asking some of these pre-existing cabin owners to have to retrofit their cabin with the system and expecting them to have it done in a year or something.
