Lead Certification in Detroit
Landlord certification and lead testing costs have become a major issues for landlords in Detroit. This is great for buyers as it is beginning to weed out poorly capitalized owners. However, it is also proving to be potential major expense. What are other inventors experiences? How much are you paying to get your home lead compliant??? I'm dealing with this now with one of my homes, and looking for more experiences landlords experiences to gauge the reasonableness of my quotes.

Travis, the lead testing is one component in the certification process. They have an extensive inspection punch list when reviewing the property. Concrete work is a common material expense. Of course roofing, windows, gutters ... all are targets.
