What appreciation to expect for a MF property?
How can we say that the appreciation I am getting on a MF property is good enough to sell the property?
This is important to consider as part of the exit strategy. Can we determine something like appreciation factor of a neighborhood based on past and current price trends?

You can not predict the future. Multi investing is about income generating not appreciation.
Make sure you maintain your property and keep your rents at full market rate and the rest is out of your hands. The biggest mistake new investors make is in maintaining there rent under market to attempt to hold tenants. This is a mistake as it is a misconception that it holds tenants, it is only lost income, and it is devaluing their property resale.
