Timing really does make a difference, but I’ve seen some managers stick to their guns no matter what.
That’s true, but sometimes even flexibility doesn’t get you much if the building’s in high demand. Curious—has anyone actually managed to get a fee waived or a free month lately? I’ve had mixed results, especially with the bigger management companies. Smaller landlords seem more open to negotiation in my experience.“If you’re flexible on move-in dates, you’ve got more power than you think.”
I hear you—flexibility only gets you so far, especially with those big companies. I’ve tried to negotiate for a free month a couple times and got nowhere. Smaller landlords, though, they’re usually more willing to talk if you catch them at the right moment. Ever notice how it’s almost like a game of chicken with some of these managers?
I had a really similar experience. I almost signed a lease that looked fine at first, but the advisor pointed out a few red flags I completely missed. Definitely saved me from making an expensive mistake.
