Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

I recommend a Post Compliance Assessment Determination (PCAD) every 5 years or so.Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

Generally speaking, the older the construction, the more likely you are to see this kind of variance.Addicts stealing copper water supply piping and selling it for scrap is one of the easiest, if not the easiest, sorts of theft in unoccupied houses undergoing or waiting for renovation.

When you issue the new leases, I would not recommend by starting off with having them fill out paperwork and undergo background checks.

@Joe Splitrock Well it’s all the sellers side to see if they want to undergo a 5th extension.

IE if the property is in the city of Memphis proper you have county and city property tax  so investigate that a little bit.. if you buy just out of Memphis like just over the border in MS tax's could be lower or as stated out of the city limits.rule of thumb you dont need to drill down into these numbers  napkin math is simple for rentals. you will have about 40% to 50% of your rent  at 1200 and under go to the proper care and feeding of your rental.if its less over time great job you get the upside. 

In our fast market, I typically don’t even bother looking at properties that have been in the market for over 2 days because they are either not interesting or undergoing an auction. not useful for me  All my best deals in this market have been when I was the first bidder, typically the same day it’s listed and out ran my competition.
