I would imagine that knowingly placing those harmful chemicals without such precautions could lead to an even bigger liability if accidental ingestion were to occur.

Of course there are some locations that need it (ingested crawlspace), but I like trying simpler options first.

Leaving my post here so I can follow along and ingest whatever input people provide.Cheers!

Are there blogs that I can ingest to catch up quickly about this kind of thing?

As Lee indicated above, simply provide residents with a lead based paint disclosure and the associated pamphlet from the EPA.If you have a lot of peeling paint you will want to address that so that chunks of painting are not landing on the ground or easy for someone to ingest e.g. children.

So, because I don't manage myself I don't need: - tenant screening- a way to accept rents online- a way to advertise vacancies- a way electronically sign leasesBut, what I do need is:- a single platform that can ingest the data of the various platforms my managers are using (appfolio, buildium, rent manager, propertyware, etc) so that I can keep track of everything in one place and add in the various expenses that aren't on the property managers statements- a platform that can generate reports for lenders and accountants (quickbooks, Buildium)- a platform that can help me keep track of my prospects and deals in progress before they are handed over to property management.

Lead paint is only dangerous if eaten (it has a sweet taste, which is why kids eat it) or ingested as dust during renovation.

Lead poisoning is real.. but in order for house paint to be a problem it needs to be either ingested (like a baby or small child chewing on a window sill, or possibly breathed in when old paint is scraped or ground with some kind of sander of grinder.

If you decide to rent the property to a family with children, and one of those children tests positive for lead, they will test your condo, and if it's positive for lead then you become liable (even if they ingested the lead at their former residence!).
