Would you walk away?

If my offer was accepted but the home inspection came back not so good, Should I renegotiate a lower offer price? Negotiate concessions that I'm happy with? or simply just walk away? What do you guys think?

@Davidson Francois - I LOVE bad home inspections! That means that the seller has to start disclosing any newly found issues to their next buyer.

Take your time to negotiate the deal and see if you can come up with a acceptable price for both parties.

As @Frank Procopio mentioned, unseen/hidden inspection issues (Septic, Well, structural, plumbing, etc) will offer you the greatest chance to negotiate. Problems that were clearly known won't give you any leverage with the seller.
