Then I would add a narrow kitchen island on casters, maybe 2 feet deep.  

I actually have narrowed down to 7 communities that I am interested in.Can anyone recommend someone for this?

I know I can get a list of the foreclosed homes being auctioned off beforehand.I've talked with some other folks who have done this and they advised me that out of 100 properties available, after applying review criteria they narrowed it down to three. 

I have not purchased a list from them yet as I am still narrowing down specific property criteria but ListSource has been recommended by a lot of people.

Once you've narrowed it down to a few ask for and check references.

I've narrowed it down to two companies, lendinghome and groundfloor.  

Even just narrowing it down to north and west of Detroit leaves a lot of towns and they're all different.   

Where realtor.com will show you a map, and zillow will show you off market homes they consider similar, redfin will actually show recently sold comps as thumbnails so you can narrow it down at a glance (for example if your house is single story with no garage you can ignore two-story houses with garages). 

The stairs are too narrow.

Can you narrow down on some goals, your situation, give us some context for what capacity you have.
