I don't charge and I feel that the more info I give them the more it will influence responses, so this is what I use on page 1 of the application:Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is no sufficient income/resources to pay rent and livewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.Our Philosophy:We strive to provide affordable, clean, and safe housing, be fair with repairs, and improve the Highlands neighborhood.

I was thinking of buying fixer uppers and fixing them up to rent to handicap people.Lower counter tops, wheelchair ramps, wheelchair accessible showers ect...A friend of mine mentioned it and I though it might be a good idea.

So if it is handicap accessible, that is a huge plus.  

Of course, I have a few beginners handicaps, primary among them are low of startup capital and lack of experience (I am working hard at fixing my lack of education as we speak!).

Handicap accessibility is usually needed, apartments for clients served by non-profits are usually in demand.

We currently have 1 multi-story apartment complex (informally known as "The Highrise") that is limited to seniors and handicapped, 1 complex of 4-plexes also for seniors and handicapped, and 2 "low-income" apartment complexes, which are a mix of duplex & 4-plex units.

If they are under the age of 60 but handicap the move will have to have their consent.If there are any charges associated with the service that are to be paid by the tenant, that will be considered a rent increase.  

the more handicap accesable they are the better. 

The NOI leads to the cash-on-cash which become deposits to your account - - cap rates are like golf handicaps -- topic for discussion at the 19th hole (aka club house).Appreciation is totally uncontrollable, so I ignore it. 

Does anyone have experience in handicap-accessible buy and hold rentals?
