Scares all the horses and dogs, but hey, it's ony a few times a year....

Quote from @Roger D Jones: SamEveryone here is providing great points to consider and if you were my son I would say that at 360k this 'dog needs to get put down'. 

Beyond property owner losses are retailers, grocery workers, dog walkers and all walks of life whom’s livelihood was interrupted.

I did my usual response asking if they have been to the area before, bringing a dog etc. with no response.

Like Having a great base of index funds and a fully funded IRA before throwing savings into crypto or the newest AI quantum-powered dog walking business! 

You're feeding 2 dogs with one biscuit by taking care of your living expenses and generating rental income at the same time, and by living in the house and keeping it to 4, you generally get exemptions on things that might bother you to live with (IE you can choose whomever you want as your tenants without running afoul of fair housing laws).

Cat odor is far more problematic than a small dog, but I would check landlord references to confirm how they've maintained their last residence.

Being dog friendly and providing some extras dog items is another favorite.How about a towel warmer for the bathrooms.

Married Adults + 2 kidsWhat if there is 1 samll dog/cat added to each of the scanarios above?

Just me and my dog, and the open road.
