We just told our investors that they are accruing at 8% each year for the first 3 years but that they would need to accept 4% per year (towards the 8% yearly) for the safety of the property and everyone's funds.

Safety first, for YOU, and for those who will use the property you restore.OK, done with the first part.Unless there is lead documentation somewhere, that mandates you abate it per the written standards, for the most part, you need just eliminate the pealing, and paint or seal over it!
