Why it seem I can pay off most mortgage in less than 10 yr?

It seems to good to be true. My math must be wrong. Please let me know what I'm missing. Basically let's assume no depreciation and not exceeding $300-$400/month maintenance budget to much.

House price $750k for 3 family with 2-3 br on each floor in area with $2500-$3200/mo rent. OK:

$30k down

$720k financed

$4500/mo Mortgage with tax, insurance and PMI

$8500 Rental income + $1000 (additional payments to principal)

7 years (Time to make 85 payments of 8500 which equal the financed amount)

What am I missing? 8500/mo for 7 years is $720k-ish. No need for 30 years to pay this off right? Am I mistaken? I've done the math on several properties and get same results.
