Under Contract on a property with Asbestos Siding

[AJ Satcher]

Hey BP!

So I am currently within due diligence period on a property and my inspector identified that majority of the home's siding is asbestos siding - pretty much everywhere except the front face siding. I don't own any properties with asbestos siding and I have my concerns, so I hired an asbestos professional to go check it out, grab some samples and conduct testing.

Still waiting to hear back from the Asbestos testing but I wanted to know if anyone here has experience, knowledge and or own any properties with asbestos siding? Do you completely avoid properties with this material siding or is it not as big of a concern?

My concern comes from the fact that asbestos is a carcinogen and I've heard terrible things about people inhaling it when its in a disturbed state.

Whoever you do hire to correct that asbestos ensure you know who you’re working with and ensure payments are made in a timely manner. Liens on property’s in GA are not fun!
