Currently 67.1 percent of households between the ages of 18 and 34 rent their residences, the highest percentage of U.S. renters, and the sheer population size of this generation will organically add 2.5 million people into this core renter age cohort by 2025."

“Dwelling unit” means a structure or the part of a structure that is used as a home, residence or sleeping place by one or more persons who maintain a household, together with the common areas, land and appurtenant buildings thereto, and all housing services, privileges, furnishings and facilities supplied in connection with the use or occupancy thereof, including garage and parking facilities."

You'll have to take on that risk yourself.One tool I've found to help assess risk on a property is rentfax.com  I have one rental in Indiana that nobody will issue a comprehensive (DP3) type policy, I have two others over 50 years old where it isn't a problem because they are a lower risk.

Parts of it are changing a bit as a lot of these hard working households see success.

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. all of the other tools in addition to their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

I would just aim to replace the role of the property inspector and offer more comprehensive and thorough services.

Accessibility options that will work for everyone in the household are definitely tougher to come by.

It's all about affordability and the average household income is only about $75,000 in Ferndale.

You can always count on someone to do something that directly benefits them.This is by no means a comprehensive list but it should be enough to get you started.
