Hi Dan, I have some handicap and light post bollards that need to be re-painted.

I would favor hard surface floors whether tile, linoleum or hardwood/synthetic variants and simply provide some sort of adhesive backed strips of carpet over the hard surfaced floors if dealing with property that requires carpeted living space for handicapped tenants in government subsidized properties & I would imagine greater savings in the long run since I've seen hardwood floors that are over 50 years old!

., zoning, highest and best use, design, number of units required for handicap, senior housing brings in health department standards for the kitchen, and other requirements... just to name a few things we deal with!

Read up on the payoffs they get if you require that they vacate the property---thousand of dollars per person, more if older or handicapped. 

Landlords would have to allow accommodations for handicapped tenants if its under 4 units, but don't have to pay for them so I doubt door screens would be mandatory. 

Constitution] because it handicaps duplex owners who occupy, forcing them to 'move or sell' (as you aptly noted--they can move out and take out an investment loan, or sell, both choices are burdensome.) 

Housing for Older PersonsThe Fair Housing Act (FHAct) protects all residents from discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap or familial status (families with children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal guardians; pregnant women and people trying to get custody of children under 18).The "Housing for Older Persons" Exemption: The Fair Housing Act specifically exempts some senior housing facilities and communities from liability for familial status discrimination.

But every time I make a little success, it's as if I pull back after that and become handicapped for a while.

If you're born with a physical disability, a mental handicap, if you're born a minority, if you're born into poverty, etc, you are less likely to succeed than those who don't have these challenges.I'm not saying these people can't succeed (clearly they can), but it is much more difficult and much less likely.Just like if you and I were running a 50-yard dash against each other.

Each one is handicap/wheelchair accessible.
