Looking for options for first multi family

[Brendon DeSimone]

finishing up a big fix & flip and it's been less than 6 months and I'll get killed in taxes. Considering doing a 1031 into an affordable multi-family out of state (i'm in nyc metro area) that could be a good, solid long term investment for both cash flow and appreciation purposes. Need to spend in low $2M range for 1031. Thoughts on where to begin/look/options. 

Thanks
