    House Hunting Tips

    We will be shopping for a house in the next couple of months. Is there a guide anywhere that spells out things to be aware of to make accessibility modifications easier or red flags to be aware of? I have learned a lot reading already but I am sure I am missing some things. Regards, Bruce
