I am looking into buying a 1927 home with an exterior of asbestos/wood.
Since I do not know what I might be getting myself into, I decided to post
some questions on this site

1. Does the seller have to pay for a home inspection to disclose any
information about the asbestos shingles? If not and I have the inspection
done myself, what should I be looking for?

2. Is it a dumb idea to invest in a home that could need asbestos shingle
removal? How costly is it for a home that is approximately 1,500 square
feet?

3. Some of you have said removal is no problem and it's easiest to just
remove the singles and put siding on and some of you have said it is not
dangerous to just put siding over the existing shingles. How would I know
if it is as a dangerous stage and may need replacing? A home inspection?

Any other information on this subject would be great!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot,
Tonya
