Most real estate sales have two negotiations: The first before the contract is signed, and the second during the “inspection period.”

For a Lead Safe certificate (which shows that lead dust levels are within tolerances and has to be re-done periodically, as opposed to Lead Free, which shows that there isn't any lead to worry about and doesn't have to be renewed) almost all scenarios can be remediated by cleaning or repainting (followed by cleaning, of course). 

In other words, the IRS gets the bigger of the redemption periods - and no party gets a longer redemption period than the IRS when you look at it that way.

Is there a typical minimum period where the penalty applies, like 3-5 years?

I would NEVER consider renting out a large family home that is generally occupied by owners......not renters as you WILL BE disappoint on the care of you home.If on the other hand this is a one year trial and you do plan on moving back to it in a year then disregard my advice.

Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the challenges and experiences associated with the barment process and the subsequent quiet title action after the redemption period concludes.What complications, if any, have you encountered during the barment process or while pursuing a quiet title action in GA?

@Linda West it is United Wholesale Mortgage, which you gain access to through a mortgage broker.To answer your original question, I like Navy Federal for the long draw period of 20 years, followed by repayment period.
