Using some basic OP numbers and some assumptions:Each property worth $125kGross monthly rent $1250, or $15k per yearInsurance & tax $2500 per yearNet rent $12,500 per yearLoan to value 80% ($100k each property)PI+PM expenses = $12,500 per year, so each 15 year mortgage zeros one condoAssuming no rent growth, no appreciation and no reinvestment of money harvested:So you can see using these simple numbers after 15 years you've brought in the exact same amount of money, but you had an additional $1.15 million in tax deductions over that time, averaging about $77k annually in deductions which saves you about $20k per year (avg) in taxes, or $300k in 15 years.

These factors collectively present a high-return, low-risk investment opportunity that aligns well with my strategic growth goals.
