Usually, they just want that and will stop, but there are always some outliers and sometimes it is our fault and our job is to respond and correct and accept the review.Your second point is fair too.

The challenge is knowing if the listing agent actually tells your offer to the seller or not.For example, if a distressed property is $650k and you want to offer $620k, the listing agent says the lowest the seller may accept is $645k, but is that actually true or made up because the listing agent wants their commission?

They will only accept if roof is torn off and redone.

Previously we accepted clients who were not a fit.

@Chris Kay it's VERY difficult to cashflow with 0% down purchases.We do 0-10% down Land Contracts and know going in we may actually have negative cashflow - which is acceptable given the low down payment and avoiding mortgage costs.
