A short advice clip (by Will Humphreys) explaining that a landlord reducing their lease rate slightly does not automatically mean you’ve secured a market-rate deal. You must compare offers from multiple landlords (e.g., $30 → $28 might still be worse than neighboring offers at $26) to measure value against the market.

The key is you cannot just ask a landlord for an offer and then let's just say you get a little bit of movement. You start with one property, they come in at 30, you get not a 28. Like, but still, you don't know compared to what. Like, what if the other two landlords down the street, right, would be at 26, not 28. So just because you got one another to come off their lease rate, $2 a square foot, doesn't mean it's a great deal. It's better than it started, but it's still not. It's still not able to be measured against the market. So that's really the key.
