Google this subject and it takes you right to the lead certification site for Cleveland and you will also see where they provide a list of contractors already approved by the city to do the work and the certification.

Is there a legal timeline to update current investors about a significant change in the investment?

Will have to get a land surveyor to draw up subplots and get them approved by the planning department and recorded with the Richland County Register of Deeds Office.

I'm considering buying a property in Southern Maine that is about 5,000 sq ft too small to legally subdivide per the town's zoning rules.

They got all necessary permits/approvals, etc. and House looks structurally sound and pretty good. 

Harassing your tenant on being late, when they are not actually late will end up with him having legal action against him.

Quote from @Kathleen Park: I recommend you educate yourself on "ordinary wear-and-tear" vs damages, depreciation, and your state laws.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

I've been pre-approved and assume I should provide that info, but what else would be helpful that I can send right away during the "interview" process to prove I am seriously looking?
