Asbestos abatement and testing

[Mark C.]

There are some properties I am interested in that are older and they most likely have asbestos.  I am risk averse and if I were to purchase, I would tear down to the studs and do a full rehab {this would include getting rid of asbestos shingles and insulation).

1) I have done a ton of research and it appears as if getting rid of asbestos is very DIY able assuming you spend money on the safety equipment and use it properly.  Is there something I am missing?

2) I am having trouble finding an inspector that will identify asbestos.  It is very easy to find a lab that will do a test.  However, there are an infinite number of substances in a home to test so this seems hit or miss.  I would like to find someone that can identify things that 

a) don't have asbestos and thus don't need to be tested (e.g. kitchen cabinets)

b) things that  90%+ likely to have asbestos and thus should be treated as having asbestos (i.e. handle with extreme caution.

3) Is there some certification that I can get that states that a home is asbestos free?  For example, lets say I strip a house down to the studs and take of the siding.  Could an inspector look at the house at that point and certify that there are no asbestos materials inside?

Thanks
