So on the outside exposed edges, I actually used the foam trim that you can also get at home depot.

If you keep shaving rents and have a 5% vacancy rate it generally optimizes your income.

Some investors practice scorched earth with open bidding between many lenders looking to shave 10 bps and fees, appraisal fee, etc. 

That may still clog, though.Between shaving cream and my ever-disappearing hair, I end up cleaning my bathroom sink drain every few months.

It is insulated in the foam case and fiber glass against the wall anything else I can do? 

Plus, you might be able to refinance your current property to a lower interest rate (since rates were generally higher in 2000) and perhaps even put it back at a 30 year mortgage to lower the payment (and increase the cashflow from renting it) OR -- drop it down to a 10 or 15 mortgage without affecting the payment too much and shave the time needed to pay off the property by 5-10 years and save you a bunch of interest in the process.THAT'S how you analyze investment property. 

I plan to reframe all the ceilings with 2 x 4's in an opposite direction and spray3 1/2" foam insulation ...then just rock over. 

Out-of-state investors always ride into the 'Burgh breathing fire and ready to beat the world, and then they ride out under cover of dark grimly resolved never, ever, ever to talk about the shaved orangutan that they woke up next to.

In this market, it might be worth shaving a bit off your margin, but I wouldn't go very far.
