I have since liquidated my REITSs to make for some real property, but I would invest in them again. 

However It is pretty certain she is looking to liquidate any assets that are left behind and to my understand the town home, etc. is going to go, most likely sooner than later.I am certainly not an ambulance chaser and definitely not planning on approaching her about buying this town home anytime soon, in fact I am bringing her a bottle of wine, and some other 'Colorado goodies' which we have shared prior together this evening.

Perhaps that was putting the cart a bit before the horse in terms of "covered up", but in the past couple of years there has been significant growth in the student-living communities built directly around campus.

I still need to pay them market value for it, the market is inflated, I would still need enough down payment left over to find myself a place to live.Another part of me wants to liquidate EVERYTHING and let them buy/sell as they please.

If your job throws off 300k, 500k etc. a year then you can snowball much faster.Once you hit so many properties lenders will look at track record and your global cash flow so having a J-O-B becomes less of an issue as liquidity and net worth is built up.

They are less liquid investments (there is not a deep investor base for town homes).

Me cashing out the equity should make it worthless to liquidate anyway, but unless someone will let me borrow 100% ltv, there will probably be some equity left. 

My goal is have roughly $50K of liquid capital available once I am ready to buy but I am curious if you feel that's too much/little.

Just don't want to end up in a situation where all the liquid is gone and he is waiting for loans to season and can't move the ball.

I am looking for some opinions on the best way to quickly scale up a portfolio of buy and holds & Fix and Flips given the below situation.Investor income (day job) - 300k plus annually 
Debt to income - excellent 
Liquid cash on hand - 50k 
Credit - Excellent 
Currently has 2 rentals- (could refi out 60k cash)Given the above stats, what would the community recommend is the most efficient way for an investor in this situation that wants to scale to 20+ properties in the next 5 years?
