Pit Bulls, Horses, and Poor People

There's so much in this business that I just don't understand. On a fairly regular basis I will get a call from someone who needs to rent or they want to buy with owner-financing. And they have no money for the down-payment, a credit score of 403, and they can't afford monthly payments of more than $450 per month. And they have pit bulls or horses. Now I know that horses are expensive to feed and keep, so why not sell the horses so that you can have a little money to house yourself? And the pit bulls - really, I don't think I know of a single person with pit bulls who has their finances in order. I don't think the pit bulls cause a person to have bad finances, but why is there a correlation in the first place?
