For simple math, if I purchased a $100k property with 20% down and was able to get rent to cover the mortgage, interest, taxes, maintenance and property management (essentially zero cash flow)... held for 30yrs with no appreciation... then wouldn't I essentially hold $100k equity in the property in 30yrs on an initial investment of $20k?

The houses are within about a month of completion and I'm looking to see if there's a cheaper option out there that I could jump to for the remainder of the build process and until the houses are sold.

This is new construction, with basic appliances, cheaper finishing touches.  

Its way cheaper than quickbooks..

I was about to close on a refi when my mortgage company through me a curve ball needing a structural report and a rebuild letter.

Having a mortgage broker that can structure your loan accordingly helps save the headaches of UW!

I just read an article CNBC put out showing that after a 0.06% decrease in mortgage rates last week (6.81% => 6.75%), there was a 10% bump in mortgage applications.

Then using our first home as a sober living using rent to pay the first mortgage.

@Shane Allman Did the Original mortgage document encumber all 4 lots, or only the 2 that were foreclosed on?
