We have a 3yo and a 65lb dog so house hacking isn't in the cards for us.Unlike most military families, we'll only be in Augusta for about a year before we convert to a rental.

v=JrYtD7gSWsIIf you were in a nice large complex this would probably be less likely to happen, and you could have a pool, a hot tub, a fitness room, a dog walking area ,and possibly guarded parking at night.Just my 2 cents.

Do t allow agressive breed dogs or your insurance will cancel you when they find out.

Asking your city if you need a permit is like asking a dog if he wants a snack.

We all know the stuff flows downhill, so rent a mini ditch digger, get a metal detector, call dog safe, and dog it up and replace it.

However, I'd rather have less money and sleep like porch dog. 

My motivation is to be present and spend more quality time with my fiance, loved ones/family (our three dogs included), and friends.

For some it seems this property is a real dog.

@Tracy MungerHi Tracy,If you're going to poison the mice make sure you tell your tenants about this ahead of time, the day of, and while it's happening--because if Fido the Dog or Fluffy the cat eats a poisoned mouse or chews up a poison box you will have some very unhappy tenants.They make poison boxes that contain the demised mouse vs letting it run around until it collapses--think about asking about something like that, and let the tenants know what it looks like and not to touch them or move them.Good Luck!
