How do I choose a section for pulling a -Property value?

$

Hey all, I'm learning PowerShell and came across an obstacle I can't seem to overcome. I'm working on a script to determine the remaining lifetime on a workstation's DHCP lease. Here's my code:

write-host "Computer Name?" 
$CompName=read-host
invoke-command -computername $CompName -scriptblock {get-netipaddress} | select-object -Property ValidLifetime

I'm able to pull remaining lifetime time but I get multiple values. For example when I run this script on one of our dispactch computers I get four "sections" of responses: IPv6, IPv6 Loopback, IPv4, and localhost.

IPAddress         : fe80::443d:367d:683f:d011%5
InterfaceIndex    : 5
InterfaceAlias    : Ethernet
AddressFamily     : IPv6
Type              : Unicast
PrefixLength      : 64
PrefixOrigin      : WellKnown
SuffixOrigin      : Link
AddressState      : Preferred
ValidLifetime     : Infinite ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue)
PreferredLifetime : Infinite ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue)
SkipAsSource      : False
PolicyStore       : ActiveStore

IPAddress         : ::1
InterfaceIndex    : 1
InterfaceAlias    : Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
AddressFamily     : IPv6
Type              : Unicast
PrefixLength      : 128
PrefixOrigin      : WellKnown
SuffixOrigin      : WellKnown
AddressState      : Preferred
ValidLifetime     : Infinite ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue)
PreferredLifetime : Infinite ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue)
SkipAsSource      : False
PolicyStore       : ActiveStore

IPAddress         : 192.168.1.131
InterfaceIndex    : 5
InterfaceAlias    : Ethernet
AddressFamily     : IPv4
Type              : Unicast
PrefixLength      : 24
PrefixOrigin      : Dhcp
SuffixOrigin      : Dhcp
AddressState      : Preferred
ValidLifetime     : 7.23:59:35
PreferredLifetime : 7.23:59:35
SkipAsSource      : False
PolicyStore       : ActiveStore

IPAddress         : 127.0.0.1
InterfaceIndex    : 1
InterfaceAlias    : Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1
AddressFamily     : IPv4
Type              : Unicast
PrefixLength      : 8
PrefixOrigin      : WellKnown
SuffixOrigin      : WellKnown
AddressState      : Preferred
ValidLifetime     : Infinite ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue)
PreferredLifetime : Infinite ([TimeSpan]::MaxValue)
SkipAsSource      : False
PolicyStore       : ActiveStore

How do I change my script to just pull the IPv4 lifetime?

Thanks,
