Quote from @Shawn Sopic: When you bought it, it didn't have A/C, so I suspect other buyers will do the same.Installing A/C may not provide a dollar-for-dollar return, but it can make the home more attractive to buyers and enable you to sell it faster.If you spend $10,000 to install the A/C, you can expect it to increase the sales price $5,000 or less.

Your best bet is to borrower the downpayment (although, if your property doesn't debt service, you won't cash flow)

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

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

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. 

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

What types of returns are you seeing for your investment property (cash on cash, and cap rate), especially for any new homebuyers in this high rate environment (7%+)?
