It seems like interest rates are most common, so that’s what I’m leaning towards, but is the ball in my court regarding the terms or in the investor’s?

So whatever gets the ball rolling fastest is the best route for you to take.

If your intent is to sell your rental(s) and leave the RE asset class then I suppose the # years of cashflow metric might be more applicable, but I think it heavily relies on the assumption that you've accurately timed the top of the market which requires a crystal ball and sorcery above my pay grade.

AIRDNA has it's place, but it's no crystal ball. 

Looking for some insight if I should wait to purchase in the hopes of more multifamily properties becoming available in the future, if I should make an extremely low ball offer on what's currently listed.

Moved down to San Antonio from NYC over the Labor Day Weekend (continue to manage a modest portfolio in upstate NY) and hope to get the ball rolling down here.

@Alejandro Ferrer you can have thermostats that limit the temperature the heat can be set to but where are you located that you think they can turn the heat off when they aren't home? 

I know pvc is not porous but with temperature in the back side (inside the wall) the front will easily develop this.

I don't have a crystal ball and could be entirely wrong, but I haven't seen much evidence supporting significant growth in that area. 

According to my crystal ball...jokes.
