Asbestos on the siding - worth to buy?

[Peace Lily]

Hi BO members, I recently saw a multifamily house in a good neighborhood but it has asbestos on the siding. It will cost money for removal. I was just wondering if it is worth to go through this trouble of making the offer. Because I am not sure if there will be any other problem come after the asbestos. Please advise. Thank you!

@Peace Lily Why does it have to be removed? 

I own several rentals that have asbestos siding and know of several other landlords that do as well. I'm unaware of the laws in the market where you're looking but in mine as long as you do not remove it, tamper with it, etc then you're fine.
