You will at least command a higher rent and more demand.  

There is also a pocket in South Sac that is zoned for the Elk Grove school district,  those homes can be had at a fair price but command a premium rent (for South Sac).  

However, there don't seem to be any multifamilies that would command the rents I would want on the MLS.

You are right that there is more to maintain in a SFR, but they also command higher rents in many areas.

Properties are commanding a premium.  

This is project is going to command great rents and is in a desirable part of town with amazing views.I was hoping to get input from other property managers on any advice on handling a brand new place like this.

Obviously a large, well established business is going to command the upper end where a small less established business will be on the low end.

But, my market doesn't command that kind of return.  

I now work with a well known multifamily developer, and training and education is always ongoing, and I am supported my many chains of command.

I don't mean to scare you either, I'd just suggest laying the cards on the table and say that you won't have a problem doing this deal, take command of the deal but don't excited about it.....hard to describe, maybe respect the lender and rely on thier knowledge instead of telling them about how great a deal is.
