Do not even consider a radon level above 4

It costs $1000 to remediate. You would decline an otherwise great house, presumably worth 400 or much more times that amount, over $1000?

Yes
Radon is dangerous. Even if you can remediate, you might need to remediate again, but this is an odorless gas that is dangerous and you do not want to find out that the levels have gone up again without you knowing it. There really are a lot of houses on the market. Stay away from the ones built on asbestos and laden with lead

How do you which houses are built on asbestos? Small kids, so very concerned about this.

This is absolutely true. You can remediate radon. It should not be a deal breaker.
