We bought another (larger) English house on the second tour, improved it over the years, too. 

So, as larger numbers of students enroll, theres a lot of opportunity to increase efficiency and save on expenses.

I'm seeking advice what to do after my flips to remain on uncle SAMs good side without killing my liquidity.

Put together a larger package and offer the lender 1st position on everything in the package.Stretch yourself - get creative!

Other assets have published values and are liquid, stocks and bonds or annuities are easier to administer and cost much less to do so.

Already an multi-unit owner, interested in rolling that up into larger investment.

We both have them, mine being significantly larger than hers.

To combat this, and also upgrade systems as larger vacancies occurred the ceilings were removed, the HVAC ducting removed, the concrete was stripped via a sandblast, and then attractive and exposed HVAC ducting was installed.

The 2% rule seems to be intended to protect against long term expenses (carpet, painting, roof, etc) but if the cost of the home is so much larger than the upkeep expenses it should instead get back to a cost per square foot to maintain-- Example 2000sq ft * $3/yr = $6k/yr for maintenance seems much more reasonable then needing to go achieve the $18k/month route to suggest cashflow.

Im interesting in eventually going to larger multi family buildings.
