rehabbers - what do you do with lead based paint - denver market
The flip I'm purchasing has tested positive for lead based paint. I know this is pretty common in pre 1978 houses but it's the first one I've dealt with. On a flip, is it better to remove all lead based paint? I know there are other options, I'm just wondering if encapsulating it and having to disclose that there is lead results in a lower selling price and/ or longer time on the market? The house backs to a busy road and I'm a little concerned that the lead paint and the road will be to many negatives for this house. What have your experiences been?
Thank you
