Lending on SFRs vs traditional MF

Looking at Debt Yields for recent Single-Borrower SFRs vs some Freddie Mac MF securitizations and the Debt Yields on the SFRs are much lower than the traditional MF deals. 

I'm talking about sub-5.00% vs. ~7.00% 

Can someone explain why investors are willing to accept much lower DYs on SFR deals than good ole Freddie Mac K-deals, which are like the lowest risk RE deals that exist and have proven track records through multiple downturns???

 

Investors in SFRs can easily get 4%/30-yr money.  That's not different than MF or SF detached financing.  

The underwriting is virtually identical other than you might have the option of selling SFRs off as SF detached homes.  

I even called KBRA analyst and asked this same question.  Their best answer was investors like the granularity of SFRs b/c there's not 10-20 very big transactions that make up the vast majority of the typical MF CMBS pool.  While I get what they're saying, I don't see how that should change the underwriting and allow more leverage on SFR deals than MF
