talking to the Bank its going to be far and few between that the mortgages these folks are taking sub to is still owned or controlled by the "Bank" the loans were sold within months of origination and maybe MERS has it ( sliced and diced) and for sure your dealing with a servicer.. who is not going to negotiate one bit.. now if you happen to have a sub to with a portfolio lender and you can actually talk to someone who is a decision maker thats different but I submit those loans will be a small fraction of the deals being done.

Let's analyze each issue you've mentioned:1) Tenancy Length: besides issues a landlord can't control, like death, sickness, job loss, etc., the actual management of the property & tenant play a large roll in how long tenants stay in their home.
