With house of this age is lead paint or asbestos a concern?

My thoughts are: two people to handle the day-to-day management of the propertiesa maintenance expert, who can perform most small-scale rehab tasks and property turns (painting, basic electric, carpet cleaning, etc.)a marketing individual whose job is to find new tenants and market the propertya tax person who handles annual taxes, budgeting, and CPA accounting.What does everyone think??

The mobile home park can be made much nicer with some improvements, painting of MH, upkeep of the road.4.

The contractor said it was pretty much putting a small kitchen down there, new paint, and carpet. 

Drywall, paint and carpet are not that bad  ... annoying, but quick turnaround.  

Need some advice here.Hired a painter to paint a vacant property.Never worked with him before.Not a big job contract about $1000 plus materials.Painter says on first day he can get more done if he can stay over at the vacant property, he can bring in a sleeping bag and work longer hours.I don't think this is a good idea.First I have some power tools at the place.I really don't think I want him sanding the ceiling at 3am...I don't want to hand over the keys either.There may be liaility issues as well.Thoughts, bad idea or am I being too paranoid and is not really a big deal?

(Had a young tenant who put gas in an ice cream plastic bucket with a lid to clean paint brushes!

Only way you can (should) spend that much is:- roof $4k- heat pump hvac $4k- paint $1.5k - 2k- flooring $2k- appliances - $1.6k- fix up cabinents cuz it's an old house

So, we hired him for framing for damage part of the house - interior and exterior, paint, tiles, kitchen cabinets, exhaust fans, baseboards and tiny cosmetic things.
