The Questions sellers ask you.

There are many threads on BiggerPockets about what to ask a seller. But what about the questions that sellers ask you? What are some of the questions, and your answers, that Sellers ask when negotiating with them to buy their property.

Questions I've gotten from Sellers:
Q: Why can't I stay in the house and just pay you?
A: Our policy is never to rent a property back to the seller. It's been our experience that people have a difficult time being tenants in what was once their own home.

Q: Would you pay more if I make some of the repairs myself?
A: We only use our licensed contractors for repairs.

Q: Can I store my stuff in the garage/shed until I find a new place?
A: We would be happy to pay for a storage unit for X months. (as part of the negotiation)

So what are the common questions you get asked by a seller?
