Missing Support Post found on property inpsection

[Eric Montrose]

Hello, I have a property under contract and got the inspection done this morning.  Still about 7 days under the inspection period on the contract.  The only serious finding seems to be a support post missing in the basement.  The seller and inspector are making it seem like an easy fix/no big deal.  Has anyone dealt with an issue like this before? I'm curious if it really is an easy fix or has it caused investors heartburn after buying a property.  Any feedback appreciated.
