You could say dangerous breeds (e.g. pit bull etc), farm and exotic animals excluded (you forgot to list the snakes) that way you are covered. 

Anyone selling you one is a snake oil salesman.

Based on my contractor estimates, I'm roughly looking at around $6.5k The property is already rent ready, save for a couple minor things (new man door on the garage, snake some drains, etc).I own a handful of properties but am not an expert when it comes to giving information, but here are the numbers I'm working with:Purchase Price: $55,000Cash In: $12,000 (15% down payment + minor rent ready repairs + misc.)Rent: $800-900/monthExpenses: $538/month (PITI + $120 set aside for maintenance, vacancies, etc.)Net Cash Flow: $262-$362/mo. (26-36% CoC Return)The cons that I'm hung up on are (1) that the home is certainly not being purchased at 75% ARV or anything like that, but then again the house itself save for the two items I mentioned are in great condition; (2) comps in this particular neighborhood are nearly impossible to place... a few years ago these houses sold for $4,000-7,000 each, but the real estate boom has certainly brought some change.

(For example, had to get toilet pipe snaked at 5:30 pm and they charged me $475 since it was after hours, hired another plumber for the other unit that needs a pressure bladder and it is going to be over $500).   

Our industry is facing some obstacles as it is and having snakes sneaking through the grass like that only puts the business as a whole in a bad place.Good thing your hard/honest work speaks for itself and your clients know who really has their best interest in mind.Thanks for sharing this and I wish you the best of luck along the way!

No real thunder activity so no hail or tornado's and no humidity. 

Are you going to sit next to your mail box when bitten by a snake waiting and hoping someone sent you a DMM about what to do when a snake bites you?

She died of  a snake bite and that ended that story.

I think that comes from the stereotypical picture we have of the pushy and obnoxious salesman who just won't take no for an answer... or maybe the sort of "snake oil" approach that many internet marketers take.

@Frank Sanchez, instead of thoughtful arguments, you have made baseless accusations - against @Tom Cooper of shilling for me, against me of peddling snake oil and making false claims.
