You must always calculate cash flow based on a property having no equity, that is 100% financed at all times to pay for the dead money you have tied up in the property.Also keep in mind a property 100% financed appreciates at exactly the same pace as a property 100% paid off.

From reading all the responses I think it is safe to say that it is a good strategy for someone who wants to reduce their debt or create more equity at a faster pace, but not necessarily the best route to take for an investor who wants to expand their portfolio quickly since those saved funds could be deployed to purchase more properties.
