Lead pipe deal in Newark NJ

[Nyan R.]

Hey BP, I found a deal in Newark and the property have lead pipe in the main water source. Should I get out of the deal or should I still proceed?

Call a local plumber to see how much that will take to FIX

@Olusola Abitogun the city is going to take care of the removal with a 1k deductible. The only thing is, we don’t know when that is going to happen. So right now I don’t know if I should wait for the city to remove it or proceed, with the owner giving me the 1k deductible.

I'd agree with @Olusola Abitogun on this one. Call a plumber and get them to come out/give you an estimate. Shouldn't take more than a day or two to arrange that--no reason to hold up the deal for the city. City gov't doesn't exactly move quickly to put it mildly.
