If what you've been doing is working well for you I'd keep at it.

Am considering an investment with turnkey rental provider, Cash Flow Savvy.

My logic is, I would be paying for a lease so I might has well build up equity in a mortgage instead and if I found a fixer-upper then have equity also.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I do typically ask them up front what their household income is to make sure it will qualify as well as how long of a lease they want to do so as not to waste time with people that don't make enough or only want a 6 month lease.

That is EXACTLY the kind of tenant I would want to provide flexibility to because that is the kind of tenant I want to keep.

I'm considering purchasing a multi-family property in Norman, Oklahoma City, primarily because of the nearby colleges and universities that provide rental opportunities.

Shorter-term holds provide a better vehicle for accomplishing those objectives.

Proof of what the seller cares about exists in every transaction where the seller provides a concession to assist their buyers with their closing costs.Example 1, the Old way:Buyer offers $100k, seller pays 6%, seller nets $94k.

@Dave Foster can provide additional guidance.  

It will depend on how well your records are kept and organized.
