If you are selling houses where you will have millions to exchange then you have options.If you have say 100k from a sale then you are much more limited and to get into larger properties would have to buy a small partial interest and give up control.My Cali clients have huge equity gains to 1031 in some cases in the millions from the sale of the property.NNN single property is more compressed so could possibly hit high single digits cash on cash with 25% down.

They not so great after immense rate compression.   

The gentrification along rural has pushed a lot of the problems out to Sherman and compressed issues from various areas.

You could buy and sit on it and let multifamily cap rate compress converting from a buyers to a  sellers market and occupancy and rents were rising.Now with multifamily you have tons of investors buying multifamily at the top trying to squeeze yield and hoping their optimistic projections pan out top of the cycle for that asset class.
