So I have been living with my alcoholic mentally abusive mother but I want to get away and finally start a life but unfortunately I have 3 goat's 15 chicken's and 2 dogs plus a cat so I can't just rent a home. Which means I have to buy a house with at least one acre. Unfortunately in Iowa land is not cheap running around 59,000 and up and since me and my fiance are first time buyer's/ renters getting a loan might be hard dose anyone know a way I could lessen the financial burden or the best way to go about this. I know a couple people recommend starting a GoFundMe but I think that would just be a waste of time nobody is going to just give me money to escape and it also just feels wrong asking for a hand out so dose anyone have a idea?

Ok I understand that you all probably don't get it but I will never give up my animals it will not happen and yes I know my animals are a lot of work I take care of them every day my chickens give me eggs and my goat's give me milk which I use to make cheese and soap. They are also my family and even if I only have the dog they still wouldn't rent to me because she is over 40 pound's. So please stop suggesting me to get rid of my animals because it's not a option and I can't leave them with mum
If you truly want out you will have to make sacrifices. Get rid of the animals except for a dog or cat. And also be aware that even then most will not rent to someone that has pets. If you can't do that then you will have to deal with this situation of your own making. Don't expect others to help you if you won't help yourself.

I understand that most people don't get it but asking me to give up my animals is like asking me to give up my life my dog saved my life twice. I don't really care what everyone thinks I'm being stupid not to give them up but I will find away just wait in sea.
Ask some local farmers or ranchers if they can watch your animals for a fee. If agreed, get it in writing. Once the animals are squared away, find some land. After that's settled, retrieve the animals.
Get married, then talk to the bank. Or Give away the animals and move out. Or Mice out, but still go to your mother's everyday to care for the animals.
Giving away the animals will free up your time and resources.

Giving them up or leaving them at my mom's is not a option
