We allow animals, and have specifically done wood plank tile floors throughout so it's pretty much animal proof!   

Be careful investing in condos as the hoa fees can eat up your monthly cash flow quickly.

There is Dollywood, The Island, several campgrounds, anything you want to eat, many hotels, etc...

The key is the exterminator will leave these little "bricks" in the crawl space that the rodents will eat and die.

Im already eating up the ultimate beginners guide.

Get a nice house, my nice car with my $20k USAA loan, and go out to eat once a week.

If you want to move to cash flow however my advice would be avoid the 60-100k turnkey SFHs - the individual capex will eat up most of it in the long run. 300k+ houses make more sense but you wont find many markets at those prices with great cash flowing cap rates.
