Too many steps up to house?

[Eddie Werner]

I am looking at a SFH currently rented for $425/month. Market rents in the area show $600 is where the rent should be. I asked the PM company why this was and they said the tenant has been there for a couple years and there are 43 steps from the street to the house. It is a good distance. Because of the sheer number of steps they feel it will be hard to find another tenant if the rent is raised and they leave. Have you ever encountered physical attributes of a property, ie number of steps that would make it hard to rent? Does anyone else have a crazy number of steps and manage to keep it rented?
