@Rich Baer, the disclosure stated the previous owner was not aware of any lead paint throughout the home, so I believe that I will have no problem in that area even though it was built was before the 70's.Also, @Todd Witt, I am asking the realtor to obtain a copy of the move-in inspections also based on your advice.Thanks and good luck!
