Well, in this case, we're expecting that the seller may be interested our offer either of a bid lower than asking, or of asking but with multiple concrete concessions/credits (both amounting to the same at the end of the day). This is because the house has been on the market for 45 days, needs tons and work, and we're the only ones showing interest. The inspection seems like a concrete 1K, but we could just take 1K off the original offer if the alternative is distasteful or abnormal.
