This should have been presented in your counter-offer along with your handpicked comps that shows support for your offer.Have you presented your short sale Net Proceeds against the proceeds in an auction and REO scenario?

Oh, I got 3 counter offers on Hud's today, I put another offer in on a Fannie Mae property and I have 2 FSBO's pending but nothing is solid..that's all!

Tell them to make a counter offer and take it from there.

I submitted a counter-offer yesterday, hopefully the deal goes through. 

I have repeatedly asked for the Inspection Clause in all of my offers except for the one counter offer at 15K off my initial offer price.

There are many reasons why they choose a specific starting bid price and the one you mentioned is one of those reasons.When the bank comes back with a rejection, they will come to you with a counter offer, obviously higher than what your final bid was.

Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed the licensee otherwise in writing;6. 

I offered 20k below asking on a 3 unit last year expecting a counter offer and they accepted!

He counter offered at 3% for 3 years :).

stick with numbers that work for you and do not worry about their own counter offers.
