I understand that there can be liability issues for landlords in answering these types of questions.

The reason you can't find a concrete answer is that there's none.

Overall in my experience, I would say yes to answer your question.  

I got no answer and they tried blaming me for credit , I sent screen shot of my credit pull so I’m not sure how to combat when they aren’t being cooperative , the only option they gave was have a cosigner but pushed to go asset based because it would be like starting over with underwriter.

second question, if the answer to the question above is yes.

Happy to answer any questions.

@Christopher Tinelli when I first read the title, I thought YOU are a PMC and your BP profile seems to confirm this.Unfortunately, most of the responders seem to be answering as if you bought the property.Recommend checking out NARPM, there are a lot of student housing PMCs there.Here's what I can think ofPMA: you'll want to have a charge for periodic walk-thrus, like almost monthly.

There is so many great answers I can give you for this questions.  

I have searched the internet for answers and have not been able to pin down a concrete answer.The strategy is using a seller credit to get cash back at closing.
