$800k Multifamily - Top cashflow? Best area?

Hello Everyone,

I am working with my parents to 1031 a property that should go for around 800k with an 300k outstanding loan.  This will leave me with around 500k in equity on a new 800k+ investment.  

Is it realistic to find a property that grosses 8k a month?  I've been watching Reno, NV (Tesla & Google), Austin, TX, Sacramento, CA and none of these seem like realistic markets to have 1% returns.

My question is, on a multifamily (ideally fourplex) what are the best markets to look into for a cashflow property.  I would like an 800k multifamily to cash flow at least 4k, after ALL expenses.  Is this realistic?  If so, where do I need to take my search?  To have a successful 1031, it seems that you need to have a property that is sitting on the market or an area that isn't as hot, to do within 45 days.  Any suggestions would be great.  

My last purchase was a duplex in Austin for $435k with 110k down that only cashflows $515/month after mortgage and property management expenses but nothing else. I do not want to make another mistake like my first property.  Thank you!
