Trash,, is a constant issue,, notify tenants,, properly dispose of,, add containers if needed.. let tenants know any trash not put in cans they will be fined,, I've dug thru trash found envelopes to tenants,,taken screen shot and they get 25.00 fine for not getting it in the bin.... don't be surprised if neighbor is one to call that complaint in.. 3.

Asbestos wrap usually appears a little thicker - this could just be paper and mastic (of course, the mastic could contain asbestos).  

I am having issues getting lenders on board with these Container Home duplexes that I have designed and have contracts on to buy already.

I appreciate the feedback @JR Nieman , I am currently at $80/sq ft for the basic fixtures, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, laminate wood, ceramic tile.

Same for ceramic but still figure AT LEAST 10% for edges, more if the areas are chopped up.

Since I have 'a report' that contains the three reported credit scores (the document is from a lender who pulled my credit and not the credit bureaus themselves) from an initial pre-qualification screening, I'm assuming that I can just use these when approaching other lenders for their own reference in getting pre-qualified?

I know you didn't have insurance, but this can be a guideline for labor costs.I would recommend the use of 100% ceramic tile for flooring (or maybe even stained concrete) since you are self-insuring.

Hi David- if the area you are looking has a realtors association you could check their website as it may contain some stats of interest.

Before starting my abatement firm I owned a testing company, which provided the analysis & narrative reports, such as the one which contained the lab results you referred to.A large factor in "what to do with it" is based on what your intentions are with the property. 

That right is contained in the FARBAR contracts.
