The most likely time for dogs to cause damage is during the first year of ownership, whether it's a puppy or an older dog that is just new to the family and going through training.I wouldn't rule them out over this one issue, but I would certainly be cautious.

I have family in South Jordan.

I'm also an active single family home investor here in Charlotte.

We are not first time home buyers but have three single family homes ( rental) properties in California but want to buy our first apartment complex out of state for generating  cash flow for the long term.

We're considering the following options:1) Purchasing a single family/duplex and renting it out, continuing to live in and house hack our current house and building equity slowly.2) Purchasing a duplex, rent out one side and live in the other, rent out current house.

I'm a little confused, are you looking for a 2-4 unit or a single family rental (SFR)?

It's a single family home that we were able to refi into a 3% interest rate.
