You may have to concede on some things you don’t want to do like installing a pathway, but it’s less costly than them throwing the book at you when you try to show them the codes or them forcing you to revert it to its original state.

@Max Tanenbaum, I would concede to your opinion on the matter as I am not familiar with older hardwood properties on the E coast.  

I would never concede $200 a month and my market is not nearly as rent-able as Houston, Texas.  

Due to this I will concede to needing to pay a property management firm from the beginning.

I feel like they need us to terminate the lease in order to get a new long term tenant in there but they are not at all willing to concede anything, ie give us an early termination date that will exist no matter the outcome of the new possible tenant.  

I concede rent all the time.. last winter when it was cold I let tenants go 3 months without paying so they could afford heat then they just moved out when they needed to start again.But then again rental income to me is inconsequential to what I do..and so I don't focus on it much.things like this..

Or giving them a lowball offer at the risk of offending them, and hope to give them a "win" by eventually conceding to my original ideal/max price.This may seem like a basic question, however in your experience, which types of offers have you had positive experiences with?  

As much as technology has made things easier I just think there are some intangibles I'm not convinced we should concede. 

Hopefully, the seller will concede on the price but just in case I want to make sure I'm protected.

Now she keeps telling us the seller’s will not concede an inch and has been very tough to deal with.
