You have a locked in buyer with no need to spruce up and a flexible buyer who will accommodate your 1031.

For me it will be totally cash flow based.. run the numbers... in general you will likely get a better return with multi.. on the flip side when it comes time to dispose you will have a broader buyer base for a single family with investors and end users vs usually only investors for multis.. really depends on your plan and goal..

While closing costs are generally paid by the buyer, realtor fees are paid by the seller.
