Would an incredibly steep driveway scare you away from a rental?

I'm under contract on a local house that I plan to turn into a legal duplex.  It's 3/2 up and possibly 2/2 or 3/2 down.  Deals are hard to come by in my market and this is at a good price and a good cash flow.  The problem is the crazy steep driveway.  It's probably a 20-25% grade in areas.  This is not very common in my area either.  I'm concerned even at decent rents ($900/month per unit when comps are 1000-1150) that I am going to have a hard time finding tenants who want to live on Mount Crumpit as my wife calls it.  Anyone have any experience or advice in this area?
