Buying a lead painted house
Hey all,
I am looking to purchase a triplex that looks promising, but there's a catch.
The seller disclosed that there are a lot of lead painted parts.
From reading online, the national average of lead removal is $10K.
I thought of chasing the deal, but renegotiating the price down to reflect this amount of work (there's also a need to re-roof).
What are your thoughts on that? Do you have past experience with lead?
Thanks for any help!
