This should be covered by the builders warranty but I want to make sure that the developer doesn't do a hack job in an effort to save money (like installing a piece of foam).

We will be doing part of the siding so I’m thinking that adding 1/2 inch foam insulation panels on the outside of the house should be sufficient.  

To hedge against this (and lower your overall interest paid) you could set your payment to $570.00 bi-weekly ['cause everyone knows an accelerated bi-weekly payment is an easy way to shave 5-years of your amortization]  even though the interest rate is at 4%.  

I havent shaved for a week and a half .  

Sometimes we get hungry and just shave down numbers till they appear the way we want them to appear lol.

The more important factor is that people in their 30's and 40's have much higher spending rate then people in their 60's and 70's.

I have seen many people foam at the mouth to get into overpriced 1031 to save a little bit on taxes. 

So, I am not opposed to using a HELOC in this manner but your #s have to work.

Going with a LVP waterproof I looked at tons of options (mm, foam backing, no foam backing, rigid core) with every flooring "expert" that I spoke with having no consistency on what I should use as underlay or if I should use underlay.
