We broke ground at the end of July and got our certificate of occupancy in under two months!

If that's the case, you can't do any renovations until you have it professionally deleaded or it would be flagged for Unauthorized Deleading and you can get fined and the property would never be able to get a Lead Certificate, only a letter of Environmental Protection that states you did illegal work, got caught, then had to pay a professional to clean up the mess.

You might mitigate the flood rating with an elevation certificate, which costs hundreds to obtain. 

I'd find the house (both our names would go on the title), rehab the house (plus, in my case, I'm a licensed deleader so the property would get Lead Certificates too), then get the house sold. 

You can do this by acquiring their license number and asking for a certificate of insurance (COI).

@Chris Seveney per their website:"We hold a $30,000 License (Notes Direct Diamond Certification).

We just got our tax certificate back (Birmingham, Alabama).

If you are looking at a MF property in Philadelphia, make sure that before closing on the deal you get city certification with the stated current use of the property.

An AQMD inspector drove up to our job and these were his first words he spoke:"Everyone on this job, pull out your asbestos abatement certifications and anyone who does not have his certificate with him is going to jail".

In my opinion, Manchester has some rougher neighborhoods that might create some management challenges, and the city also requires you to get and periodically renew a Certificate of Compliance for each multifamily that is being rented out.
