Asbestos Siding, should I pay $$$ to remove or just cover it up?
Hey BP! New real estate investor! I am closing on a home at a great price relative to comps in the area. Structurally sound, great area, small starter house (around 760 sq ft), little to no damage to the interior of the home. However, it has asbestos siding. The siding is in great shape with no signs of deterioration. When I asked the inspector whether I should pay an abatement team to remove it, he recommended I just have vinyl siding placed over top of it. I am looking to renovate the interior and then rent the home out as soon as possible. Will the asbestos siding scare away potential renters? If I need to get rid of it, do I remove it or cover it up?
