So I'm planning on having a set number of items for a standard bathroom remodel, general for the kitchen, etc.

I get about 100 visits per month and anywhere from 5 to 10 contact forms filled out from those 100.I will have to check out Trevor's stats on his blog to see if that fits in with the standard.

In my experience, it is pretty standard for second lien lenders not to allow for a non-occupant co-signor.

amazing stuff right here @Joseph ConreyI do not have kids yet but I will definitely make sure my kids are reading, understanding and hopefully living by these standards. 

I do know that tile is MUCH easier to clean between tenants than the standard inserts.

Yes, I definitely understand arbitrage and I understand that most people can deduct student loan interest (assuming they itemize their deductions; however most people don't since the standard deduction is usually higher).  

Typically it is much less than say a standard triplex.

Congratulations, shows that pretty standard strategies still work very well and you don't need to hop on the latest creative or newfangled strategies to get huge success RE investing

The market standard for a cash-out is 75% LTV.
