In basic contract law terms, this type of response would be a counter-offer which you could reject and be free of any obligation. 

As you can see here, all these people saying they would reject them; its part of the vicious cycle that prevents decent people from getting ahead.

I usually start at 85% of my MAO for my offer.Example: MAO $43,000X85%= $36,550 Initial OfferIf it's rejected by the seller, you can counter offer somewhere between what they came back with and what you can pay.

What I mean is this business is full of rejection, bad deals, "learning opportunities", and discouragement.

I'm searching for new jobs in real estate/marketing/sales to make more money but it's tough and I get rejection letters frequently.

Question the listing agent as to what's wrong with the house, why they think it hasn't sold, whether or not any other offers were rejected by the bank, how flexible the bank is, etc. 

(Please don't tell my wife I said that)Sometimes the good tenants are a little more reluctant, don't want rejection and or extra credit pulls.Bottom line, you might be scaring some good people away.Hope you find a great tenant soon!

your HML is your last line of defense from making a bone head purchase because you don't really know what your doing .this Is why a LOCAL HML is and can be invaluable they will keep you out of trouble by rejecting your CMA values especially from RE brokers that just want to sell you the propertyIf that all make sense

Also, I think the acquisition happen because San Francisco voters just rejected a measure to restrict Airbnb rentals.  

In the last few weeks, we submitted 6 offers and all are rejected except one which is still pending decision.
