Lead Paint

[Jared Crouch]

I am currently looking a home that was built in the 60s. The owner has discussed that it is unknown if there is lead paint (never been tested).  I have had a suggestion that all home in this time frame have lead paint, however if I do no get it inspected for lead paint, I will not be required to fix the problem. Knowing that new paint has been painted over the existing old paint. Would this be a smart move to move forward knowing it could up when I try and resale later on? 

A little about the property:

This is a home I plan to fix up (carpet and new paint only). Live in for a year then rent out and move on to another project. Purchase price is $230K, ARV $300-$315K
