His comment was that if you worked in a shipyard or an asbestos mine for decades, you probably have a medical problem.Assuming you aren't a miner, or a ship builder and want to proceed, you start by spraying the ceiling with water and keeping the material wet and scraping the ceiling with a flat shovel which removes the popcorn.

I have not before but looking to do so.Lenders usually specialize initially until the get their feet wet.

For example, often fire damage is water damage--they put the red stuff out with wet stuff.

I'm a noob looking to get my feet wet.

Thank you.You may want to get your feet wet by becoming a private lender and getting 12% return by doing joint deals like we do with our investors.

You're saying if I get it wet then it will scrape/sand much easier?

@Mike Hern Hopefully the developers that build real homes have access to real wet water rather than water rights…I heard a short while ago that water was an issue in this market.

Fidelity is probably now going to require the wet signed copy to be certain.Often recordings are digital and no human eyes inspecting the written words. 

And on the dryer side, people would take a family of 10's soaking wet clothes and throw them in the dryer....all at once.....and break it..Eventually enough is enough.   

House hacking is generally seen as an easy way to get your feet wet with real estate investing.If you're living w/ parents or essentially rent free and intend to continue that for awhile, I agree investing outside of your local market (even out of state) might be best.
