About to do start Demo - should I test for lead and asbestos?

Hello, 

I just purchased a fixer in INglewood CA.  A fourplex, which was build around 1940.  We are about to start the rehab process in one of the units.  The contractor I talked to today didn't seem very worried about lead paint and asbestos.  I called a testing company and they told me it would cost around 600ish to do the testing.  So the question I have right now is whether to get the place tested before we begin to demo, or not?  What would you guys do ?  I have no idea  whether there is lead/asbestos in the property or not but I am wondering whether to start demo without double checking.

Thanks!
