For the past 15 years, I've developed various businesses related to residential accessible housing. From providing home care rehab services, home health equipment, contractor services specializing accessible remodeling, I'm passionate about creating wheelchair accessible housing. In 2005, I bought a typical ranch-style house and over a 9 month period, I remodeled this house with concepts of universal design.
Homeownership for Individuals with Disabilities
The State of Maryland has a great "mortgage" tool for individuals (need certificate of disability) looking to purchase a house. The program provides low interest loans (~2-4%) with 30-40 year terms. A few years ago, I was acting as a Realtor and direct a client to the program. She completed the application process and ended up with a 0% loan with a 40 year term. Wow...those are great terms! The program no longer offers 0% but 2-4% is very good.
