What does everyone do with a house with asbestos/slate siding?

[Kyle Hipp]

In the area I live and invest there are many houses with asbestos slate siding. I know this siding, if maintained correctly can last forever but it looks horrible and has the stigma attached of old and dangerous. I have had a crew come in to remove it on one property as I like to strip down all original siding and repair anything wrong and go new from there.

I wonder what other investors do with asbestos siding or if it isn't prevelent in your area.
Have you noticed that it is harder to sell or rent if there is asbestos siding?
Do you cover up asbestos siding?
Do you not even want to mess with properties that have asbestos siding?

Thanks all, just getting an idea of what other investors perceptions are on this topic.
