Personally, I will test beforehand for loose lead contamination, work on newer homes, or walk away.
Right now I'm favoring walking away.

You won't touch it, someday perhaps no-one will. And lead paint is alot easier to deal with than asbestos or contaminated soil.
Problem is, laws get stricter not easier, and it never goes away unless removed.
I expect someday in the near future you won't be able to finance a house with lead, asbestos, or an underground tank.
And every year goes by, remediation gets more expensive and more complex.
