Hello fellow Pocketeers, a little background, I am part of an investment team, who operates in the Central Florida area (Polk county, Lakeland, Bartow, Mullberry, Winter Haven, Auburndale) while we mostly deal with traditional SFR's (Single Family Rentals) we recently purchased a property which has been modified to provide access to people with disabilities (Wheel chair ramp, over sized doors, over sized showers etc.). We initially investigated whether there would be a market for disabled persons, we consulted with a local social worker, and a local healthcare worker, they did not think there would be much of a market. As a team we decided to convert the property back to conventional sizes for regular rentals. Recently while our crew was working on the house remodel, my foreman told me that a Woman stopped by to ask if the property was available for rent, as she was looking for a property with disability access, unfortunately he did not get her contact information, but that encounter awoke a curiosity in me.

My question is, has anyone ran into a situation similar to this where you were able to find a market for these types of rentals? or would you have any recommendations as to where to look and find out if there may be a market for this type of a rental? would these types of rentals generally cost more because of the required access?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
