For example, let's say you are guaranteed a 7% pref and the property delivers exactly that, but then sells with a capital gain. 

But it can be useful for rentals with gains also. 

If your portfolio is large enough, 5% is better.Now, some people believe that this diversification reduces the chances for a large gain.  

They can give you more insights to accurate rent, tenant preference and etc.

@Felicia NituIn addition if you actually want to realize that value, you need to count another 5% for selling costs, and the taxes from the sale.Assuming a 20% capital gains tax, your total ROI on the above scenario would be about 12%, even with the numbers you were using.
