Spell it out nicely in a counter offer letter, explaining why.  

Most of the time you will get a counter offer and when you actually go to the property, and there is more fix up then you had in your budget, you can then just walk away if both parties cannot agree on a deal.

Offered 90K, counter offered by the seller at 93K, we countered at 92K and they accepted.  

The counter offer is $5,000Note 2:  Montgomery, Al:  Est.

So I counter-offered at $171K with the escape clause of $500 over the 2nd guys max new offer.

Some like auction.com set reserve prices.if your agent is submitting offer to bank then you would get a counter offer

An offer would be a contract to purchase, provide timelines, provide for acceptance and counter offers, purchase price, earnest money etc,  Unless your LOI has met the general requirements of an offer to purchase, I don't believe the broker has any responsibility to present it.

So, with that, I am thinking of making a counter offer of:-Monthly rent of $600 until I secure my loan.  

I just signed the counter offer for my 3rd deal and it has already turned out to be very interesting with some cool twists and turns so I figured I would start a deal diary thread about it!
