Seems like the only way we can up our Cash on Cash is to calculate the purchase with a much lower down payment... but we want to sink our own cash into the deal. 

Hey there My 5cents , just pay more every month, it’s the simplest way ,paying a 30yr in 5y just means your paying all the principle (as extra payments) in a short amount of time , I would suggest not using a heloc to do so just make extra payments as much as you can reasonably afford and you’ll be fine,  hope this helps
