The interest is part of the investment. It gives you control of the property and ability to collect all appreciation. It takes a very minor increase in value to turn a profit if your time horizon is short term. A renter doesn't have anything to show for his or her rent payment and cannot collect any appreciation.

It's hard to believe that amateurs on this board actually believe house-flipping is a sure thing.
