Laminate planks on the other hand are very stiff and if the floor isn't perfectly flat the laminate planks sound "clacky".  

The important point on a modular is setting the foundation perfectly level (as perfect as possible).

@Eric Schleif perfect, thanks

So, being an investor in the area as well, I do believe we have already missed the perfect timing to get into Chelsea unless you are looking into a larger apartment complex / commercial units, which is totally out of my ball game for now at least.I also see a lot of positives as Boston continues to see major deficits in the apartments needed and Chelsea has seen a lot of investments lately: FBI HQ, major hotel chains opening up, faster and inexpensive Tobin Bridge tools, etc.Best of luck on your search and please keep us in the loop for whatever you decide/find.Flavio Zanetti

Speaking from a vantage point of being no longer young, though, and always in love with learning I can tell you that for me, finally allowing myself to feel good in the midst of scarcity and even in some ways in less than perfect health has been one of life's greatest gifts.

Your first few deals don’t have to be perfect.

I have near perfect credit score so I believe I would be able to get this loan. - Ideally I go in on this alone (hence the question above) but I also have a partner who is willing to put down half of a 20% down payment - any recommendations on how to split cash after I have moved out from this being my primary residence?

Not one of them is perfect but one will annoy you the least and work the best for you.
