Im not currently working with a realtor. I have done multiple deals before. This one seemed pretty straightforward. Then we had an inspection and the inspector noted : 1) He thinks the house has structural issues & that one of the beams on top of the post is crooked/twisted and there are cracks on the walls he thinks are from that & that could be a $10k or $100k problem 2) trusses in the attic have cracks and need to be repaired and he’s estimating thats another $10k. Im getting mixed feedback on it though and want to know in situations like these how do you even handle negotiations with seller. Their agent told me they did a clean pre-inspection and everything was clean on their end. So I was surprised to find these major issues on the house and not sure if it is exaggerated or not. I have already reached put to a few engineers. How would you handle this with ?

So I was surprised to find these major issues on the house and not sure if the inspector is exaggerating as he tends to be a hypochondriac. I have already reached put to a few engineers.
