Let's pretend we're in NYC, where rents for studios routinely run $3000/month. 

I do affordable housing for disabled vets in big cities around major VA hospitals and it's like night and day when I look around here (Atlanta is on our list, hopefully before the end of the year btw)

. , we have income less PITI, less lawn care on the duplexes, less routine maintenance (5%), less turnover costs (7%), and misc items like education (1%).  

It is my understanding even if it were covered under the disability laws that you would not be responsible for providing it, just that you allow the modification if it is not burdensome and that they must return it to normal when no longer needed.  

I also don't like having them on auto-pay since I routinely pay the mortgages at different times throughout the month as the rent checks come in. 

On the other hand, I acknowledge all offers, let the buyer's agent know should the seller wish to counter or reject I will also forward that immediately, and forward them to the owner....but if a buyer's agent tries to "demand" a response, and starts the "I'll call your broker routine" I remind them that the owner is not obligated to respond, I'll forward it if he does, here's my broker's cell number, but in the mean time you're going to the bottom of the callback list and "have a good life", in other words.....

Is it the "cheap place" so that those on disability/retirement chose to live there?

Would that help it to sell faster, or is it one of those things that commercial builders deal with so routinely that it doesn't even come into consideration before buying?

Carryout service is provided at no additional charge to individuals living alone who are elderly, ill or disabled and are incapable of conveying their solid waste or recycling container to the designated collection location.

Competing offers are the norm in many market segments and owner-occupants of the standard 3/2 in a decent neighborhood are routinely outbid by cash buyers (either investors or bay area transplants).What can cause that situation to change?
