Practicality of Flipping Old Properties

Hi BP people,

For those of you who are flipping properties built prior to 1978, I'd appreciate if you can talk about dealing with things like lead-based paint, asbestos etc., nowadays (when market is crazy and you need to give an offer.

1. Do you inspect for lead/asbestos before deciding to give an offer?

2. If lead/asbestos is found - would you even consider rehab depending on the cost or stay away?

Any other experience-based-perspective are welcome.

Thanks,

Ofer
