That doesn't mean it would be a good/bad idea to put 80% down.I like to use Cash on Cash as PART of my analysis, if I see something that CF $500/mo but only gives a 6% COC return then it really isn't a good deal.So in reality there is no apples to apples comparison, there are a lot of variable on every side of the equation, and you need to know how to run your numbers to achieve your investment goal.

One apt is open currently with a waiting list on it but id like to do light remodel first to maximize rent.. so the goal is to get all 1/1's to 490-500 and the 2/1 is currently at 600/month to hopfully achieve rent totals of 3600/month.

Our experience has been when you include the labour to install a properly sealed vapour barrier, followed by batt insulation, the difference between the two is <10%.If you are retrofitting an older (Second Empire, Victorian, Edwardian, etc) building where there was likely no insulation (or perhaps newspaper and sawdust), the outer sheeting is live-edge planks and you may be dealing with balloon framing, application of closed cell spray foam will be less expensive and much, much quicker than the labour required to achieve a full sealed vapour barrier with batt (or blown/packed cellulose) insulation.Q: How long does the spray foam process take?

Thank you all very much, I will def be using all resources in order to achieve a strong knowledge base.

I absolutely believe its achievable but takes some time setting up.

I believe that the Bigger Pockets Community will help me achieve that.
