A homebuyer has their eye on a property that looks like it has an oil tank in the yard and asbestos inside, raising some concerns about the timing of addressing these issues. Should they try to get the seller to pay for the work or just plan on dealing with it after they purchase the property?
Please chime in with your advice.
