Buyer: Hi, I'm messaging you regarding the apartments for rent.
Seller: Hello, yes, do you have good credit? We are offering a discount to those with good credit?
Buyer: Yea, credit's not a problem. I've got a 740+ FICO score. But let me ask you something. How big are the units?
Seller: They are approximately 565 sq. ft. Very reasonable for the area, very reasonable indeed. We are fairly close to the hills too, so they are much larger than you would find closer towards the water. Let me ask before I give you an offer, we are also adding a discount for those who have Equal Housing Opportunity vouchers. Do you have a voucher?
Buyer: Are you kidding me? Over $2000 a month for a box that's less than 600 sq ft? And in Fremont? This isn't exactly downtown San Francisco we're talking about. For a unit that small I can't really do more than $1300 a month. I mean does the place come with maid service and free breakfast in the mornings?
Seller: Excellent, excellent. So no voucher. No I am not kidding you gentle person. I understand it is not San Francisco, but this is SF style and an excellent move towards the city. We only have the finest residents. We do a full background check, security. Everything an upscale person as yourself would want. We will give you a 10% discount because of your FICO score. Plus you get $500 when you move in! Don't forget about that!!
Buyer: It's not worth the $2130, even with a one time discount of $500 dollars. You're going to have to give me a much better price than that.
