Possible lead based paint

Kyle Forbes

I'm looking at a house right now where I could probably clear 50k if it weren't for the possibility of lead based paint. So how much does that take to fix so I can figure it into my calcs? What does the process involve? BTW the house is 2 stories and roughly 1600 sf.

You can buy instant 3M LeadCheck swabs at the following retailers if it's a big concern:

Retail Stores:ABC Supply, ACE, Aramsco, Do it Best, Home Depot, Lowe's, MBS, Sherwin-Williams, Walmart

Online Partners: Amazon.com, Check4Lead.com, Home Depot 

If it has lead, you can get estimates on remediation from a lead-certified company for the problem areas.
