@Mike SolaIncome taxes by themselves usually won't flip ROI from negative to positive and vice-versa as tax liability is a percentage of taxable income and tax benefit is a percentage of tax loss. 

I'm not sure if much changes with being a deed of trust vice mortgage state, I read that we will have to do a release deed upon repayment.
