Negotiations and FIRE DAMAGE

[Danielle Jones]

Need some expert advice because I'm threading in unfamiliar waters. Came across a property to purchase at a wholesale price from seller but there is fire damage in one of the bedrooms. Looks to be from an old outlet or something. I didn't have a contractor or anyone inspect it yet and property is being sold as is. what are some strategies I can use to talk the sell down a couple thousand in case there is a bigger issue that I will uncover later. please Help
