I have a dog and have to pay an extra $100 a month & pet friendly rents are usually <10% of the market. I could probably build a coop in the back, but inspections might not like it and i usually move leases every 1-2 years.
I’ve been talking my wife into meat rabbits and egg chickens when we get a house though.
I’m just not currently yoloing into a $3000+/month mortgage on a small starter home when rents are so much cheaper
