Having your own home can be nice, but it is also stressful with lots of upkeep. If stress puts you over the edge that's really something to think about.Then unlike an apartment there are taxes which usually increase every year, water bill, home insurance which is far more expensive than apartment insurance, and more!

Also make sure your landlord allows an emotional support dog as opposed to a service dog. They have to allow service dogs, but are under no obligation to allow emotional support dogs. There is a world of difference between the two.
