Seller: Hi there. Are you interested in the place?
Buyer: Yes, I am.  The location is ideal.  How many beds and baths is it?
Seller: 2 bed, one bath studio
Buyer: How much are you looking to get for it?  It's near my new job and I'd love to be able to live close to my work. 
Seller: The listing price is $2025, and I was told by my boss not to go much lower than that. It was higher, but I talked him down.
Buyer: That's cool.  $2025 is still more than I was wanting to spend.  Do you allow roomates/sub leasing?  That would help bring down the cost for me?
Seller: Yes, you can use the other room as a bedroom. The place is big, so there is still a kitchen, dining and and a living room to hang out in.
Buyer: Great.  Is there any wiggle room on the price?  Any chance I could do $1700/month for the first 6 months and then up to the full price of $2025 for the last 6 months?  That would give me time to find a rooomate. 
Seller: 1800 and we'll have a deal. I could give you a month to pay if you pay the deposit up front.
Buyer: That works for me! Thanks!
