By no means a legal professional and just asking out of morbid curiosity:If a person needs a wheelchair ramp and you consider it a reasonable accommodation, they are responsible for the cost and returning the unit to it's original condition.

A service animal is no different than a wheelchair.

Mom got brain cancer and I need to be close to her, a job relocation, my kid got injured and is now permanently in a wheelchair and the old house isn't wheelchair friendly, old house burned down, etc, are what we're looking for.The other alternative, depending on how much it'll cost you, etc, would be to refinance the duplex into investment property financing with a closing concurrent to the FHA purchase closing.

Not trying to limit the area but I am in a wheelchair and would like to have a realtor who services close to my home.Thanks!

I did my first flip a year ago at 47 with 4 kids and a husband in a wheelchair with a degenerative neurological disease!  

We are only making 3 minor changes to the exterior:- Adding a porch with a wheelchair ramp- A roof over the porch- Adding a fire escape to a 2nd floor.For the interior we will be moving or adding about 35% of the walls, updating the electric, HVAC and plumbing.

Similar to a wheelchair, you wouldn't charge extra for a wheelchair-using tenant.

My first thought is wouldn't any licensing authority require a wheelchair accessable shower/bathroom?

Previous owner was in a wheelchair.

The ones who have been shut down (and their management arrested) were those who, sadly, cram four elderly in a bedroom, paid "nursing" personnel $10 a hour to monitor them and, in one sad case, gave an elderly woman in a wheelchair her shower by rolling her out into the back yard and spraying her down with the garden hose.If I were to consider renting a property to be used as an assisted living facility I would only do so if their contract was with a VA Medical Center.
