  Suppose I purchase a house for $300k with a 100k down payment. So I have 100k in equity and 200k owed to the bank in the form of a mortgage.
  Ok now let’s assume the value of my property went from 300k to 500k. I’ve theoretically just made 200k. I say theoretically because I haven’t actually sold the home yet.
  So my question is, in this situation could I pay off the 200k mortgage using the 200k in appreciation and be mortgage free?
  I’m sure the answer is no, but I can’t figure out why.
