Here are other possible sources of lead: lead-based paint used in the interior/exterior of older buildings, lead in paint chips, lead in plumbing pipes, drinking water, job sites (lead contaminated clothing brought home or on the skin), old painted toys and furniture, food and liquids stored in lead crystal or lead-glazed pottery, lead smelters or other nearby industries releasing lead in the air, hobbies that use lead (pottery, stained glass, refinishing furniture), some folk health remedies, painted objects brought from foreign countries.Also, if the children are in daycare or frequent another location, check if exposure may have come from that location.

You could also add a small microwave and mini fridge which allows leftovers and oatmeal packets and cold drinks and to heat up muffins if you have butter packets.

That friend that is closely watching the market just picked up a $5000 omega watch, took me out for drinks to show off his watch, so maybe it’s the watch that might show the RE market “closely “ lol so to make this long but here’s a tip if you have a deal and the numbers look good don’t wait on it! 

The ones that don't go blind from drinking it would probably thank you but I'm not sure that would suffice to offset the others who would sue you. ;-)

Kind of sums it up in a nutshell.To clarify, I never stayed the night in the unit, but I did use it when I was in town to take zoom calls, lunch meetings, drinks with friends, etc.

Did I drink from the skull of Nostradamus?

At the end of the day, you can only lead the horse to water but cannot make it drink.

I am doing my best to drink from the hose so to speak, and plan on buying my first investment property before the end of the year.I am simply stunned by the number of houses in my market that were purchased late 2022 or early 2023 and are back on the market at a 40-50% markup.
