Working around VA Loan questions

[Anthony Espinal]

Hi, 
I'm currently in the process of finding a multi fam using a VA loan. I found a property that within the budget but it needs work. Unfortunately it needs work the the point where it will fail the VA inspection.

Most obvious issue is one bathroom is gutted. Looks like toilet, vanity and tile around the shower body were ripped out. It’s rough. Aside from that I’m worried about mold and wood rot. 

I’m trying to think of a way I can workout a deal with the seller where the house can be brought up to standard to pass but don’t want to be out any money if the deal falls apart. 

Does anyone have any ideas or has done something like this before?
