Low Returns (COC) on Larger MF - Anyone Else Seeing This?

[Hunter Bradford]

Hey Folks-

Doing a 1031 exchange and attempting to trade up from 14 Units to 30+.  Everything I look at would either lose money or barely make any money once factoring in debt.  Is the market just that compressed right now, or is this more standard for larger number of unit deals?  I'm not sure who would buy anything I've looked at and i'm looking all over Midwest.  Listen i'm not trying to chase unrealistic deals, just want to make a profit but some of these deals you'd literally be losing money out of the gate unless you paid cash or put massive downstroke down.
