If I can not get access to the property, I will assume anything built before 1982 will contain asbestos/lead in common materials (based on my experience there's a 90% chance this is the case).I believe Texas requires any "contractor" performing ASB abatement to have a license, which means Texas has some regulations established regarding removal & disposal.In California, if you are the property owner you can perform the removal/abatement yourself (assuming SFR), the only requirement is that the asbestos waste be bagged up & taken to a designated facility (in my case in Santa Barbara there is a facility at UCSB where homeowners can take the waste at no/minimal charge). 

Everyone that looks at it compliments it, says its beautiful, but doesn't rent it.

We are looking forward to the day a few months from now when we have given this property new life and have created a safe, comfortable and beautiful home for someone to enjoy.

they are ok thank God.I did a walk thru of the unit yesterday and took them some bug spray trash bags case of water and sprays to just give a helping hand.  

My understanding from a person that grew up there is that the area suffers from major businesses that left in the 80s, causing higher income people to move out of those beautiful old houses.What's your thoughts Ryan ?

But of the ones that don't, I would feel for those investors being serviced, that were left holding the bag.  

Which is maybe 10-15 steps to the parking area.I know other multi units will supply a shovel ( that is returned at end of lease) and one bag of salt per season.

@David Li post a pic of that beauty.

That's the beauty.

The space was beautiful and we had all the amenities anyone would need.
