Accessibility and comfort
Some features are easy and inexpensive to add after purchase, while others depend on a home's existing structure. Under fair-housing law, residents generally have the right to request reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications; confirm the specifics that apply to your situation with a qualified fair-housing resource or attorney.
Brian helps you tell the difference, flagging which homes are simple to adapt and which would need major work, and recommends confirming scope and cost with licensed contractors before you write an offer.
