But don't refer to it as a rent to own, or lease purchase, those are different animals.  

However, between demo and skim coating walls, buying materials, working a W2 job and spending time with the family, I was able to find another deal in my new farm area. 

@Andrew Bertram: You should not remediate but coat it with a very secure and thick paint that seals in all the asbestos fibers, which are the source of the problem.

Yes, they can stay in hotels, but some people have larger families and/or animals (if you allow animals), and it can be more convenient to stay someplace that has a "feel" of being more homey. 

Do I need to remove the glue or can I skim coat right over the glue or is that a bad idea???

Hello @Rhonda Coats!!!!

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades; close enough for me.I could imagine in some regions Zestimates could be way off - my guess is urban areas where market value may be weighted heavily on the finishes of a property not just its location. maybe Manhattan or San Francisco.Where I am it doesn't matter if a house is coated in gold; it all depends on the neighborhood.

I did grow up in the woods of Northwestern NJ though (Montague) so I have a deep affinity for nature and animals too. 

Her I have to put 50k just as a cash-down and get money lenders... 2 different animals!!! 

There is no way to sugar coat that.
