The market, and why this works now
The rise of pet ownership, particularly during the pandemic, has created a demand for housing that accommodates pets. A strategic first-revenue move could involve listing the property on platforms like Zillow or Apartments.com, highlighting pet-friendly amenities to attract pet owners. However, high initial capital investment for property development and ongoing operational costs for pet services may strain cash flow in the early stages.
