If I buy a 2 unit home that is tested positive for lead and I live in one unit (with no kids) can I just de-lead the unit that I will be renting out to help reduce cost?  

I am looking in Delaware area.

I am currently a full-time middle school teacher, but I also manage a portfolio of about 20 properties in Delaware currently.

A really long time ago I lived near Cote de Neiges on Monkland Ave

@Bill De JongYes I did end up moving forward with the purchase. 

I'm 25 years old and I live just outside of Philadelphia in Delaware County. 

@Wendy Schultz  he’s from de Pere Wisconsin and just posted about VRs in Florida.

That is called OSB ( oriented strand board) and is mostly used for sheathing on the outside of the house under the siding. the problem with putting Spackle over it to try and hide it is that the moisture from the Spackle may get into the board and start to de-laminate it. if it is only 3'-4' high, you can dress it up with some sheets of 1/4" bead board, if it's the total wall you can cover it with 1/4" drywall. look at it this way, there is no way a tenant will put a hole through those walls after you cover it, i would consider having that a plus.

Mariela De Leon send me your email and I will be happy to:)

Btw I am in wilmington Delaware.
