I would research your particular materials and construction and determine the likely risk, but I would seriously consider if your tenant is worth spending this kind of money on and what your plan would be for the tenant and project if you actually have a documented case of asbestos, which may require professional mitigation if you think you might have a liability situation with your tenant.  

What kind of help are you looking for specifically?

What kind of tenant were they before this incident?

Typically chipped and peeling paint (lead hazard), anything problematic that could put the buyer at risk - that kind of thing.  

Then you see what options exist with either the owner in a seller financed, mortgage, or a hard money lender or some other kind of way that exists.  

Those kinds of deals are few and far between, or they're in areas that would be considered war zones.

That's kind of what I figured.

We would be looking to do this in another year or so after we’ve saved up, but I’d love any input on how to search for these kinds of properties and anything to be aware of.Thanks for any help!

There are various kinds of insurance that are not as expensive and you can choose to insure against major health problems and not small ( less than 10k).

I highlighted and underlined all kinds of stuff.
