long term all asbestos is going to be required to be removed.... its
just a matter of time.

TOH had a episode on this. guys in moon suits, hazmat containers, water
hoses to minimize dust. its removable at a large expense.

side over it? at resale time you must disclose it there.

does the home have knob and tube wiring? if its still in use good luck
getting homeowners insurance. most companies refuse to insure a home
with that wiring.

at least get a home inspection, you will pay for it a few hundred
bucks. but thats free in comparision with just one problem found later.

on a home of this age expect zero energy efficency, bad wiring,
galvanized water lines all needing replaced, cast iron sewer lines rust
out, metal porch roofs rust, somew parts are hard to impossible to get.

dont get me wrong it can be a wonderful home just dont get in over your
head!

Home inspection and contractor written estimates on repairs so you know
possible costs in advance
