Just recently the post commander opened on post housing to civilians as they can not fill their housing on post with active duty soldiers.

It will be your duty to return these once they move out. 

But by then I had put a lot of money into things that I personally wanted - heavy-duty locking subfloors; 2x6 walls for more insulation; downdraft custom Jenn-Aire stove; etc - that no one wanted to pay extra for.

My husband and I are moving to the Houston area while he is on active duty in the USMC.

I think i would be in over my head doing a heavy duty rehab (at first) or flip... 

I bought my first home at my first duty station in Alabama 15 years ago.

However, a landlord also has a duty to protect residents from known risks, or risks that the landlord should have been able to recognize.

That agent that posted the listing for you does not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to represent you so you do not have to CC him.

What you can do, however, is bring skills/duties/responsibilities to the table in exchange for that 'slice of the pie'.

If you delead, and maintain the standard, you will be in the clear.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).
