I'm choosing to look over it. I believe it was just painted for the smoke cover up. I really appreciate you guys giving me advice. I'm currently, looking at the appraisal reports now. This "Bigger-pockets," forum is really awesome. I learned about it from listen to Brandon Turner audiobook. Good rubbing shoulders with professionals like yourselves. 

Thanks Tyler Sawyer 

I appreciate the post. The house has been taken care of since the fire and hasn’t had issue since. The fire happened about 4 years ago. So sounds like it’s  something I shouldn’t worry about too much. 

I'm looking into buying my first property, its a townhouse for 145,000. A bi-level two bedroom one bath. My inspection went well with minor things to watch for and repair. The attic was flagged because it was painted, and was described to have been because there was either a fire and mold damage. 

Seller Disclosure revealed that there had been a fire from the fan in the bathroom that spread into the attic. I couldn't smell any smoke that lingered in the home and it looks to be repaired. No structural problems came back on the inspection report. 

My questions are, should I be worried about this? Should this be a deal breaker? What things do I need to know about the fire to make a informed purchase of the property? For more informed decisions on the fire what kind of specialist should I hire? 

I looking live in property and rent out one of the rooms.
