I have a tax sale prop in Charleston SC I  have been 3 years trying to get title clean.. we will build a 500 k plus new build so we need rock solid title insurance I was there on Wed this week and someone else mentioned this company .. going to check them out.To be fair my Dad and subsequently myself we really only bought land.. as there was little to no improved props that ever went to sale the northern CA counties we worked.. the only one that got over turned in all those years was a case were the tax collector missed the public notice time lines.. instead of 21 days she only did 20.. but it was a full blown court case so every single property that year could have been overturned.. but it would have taken a court case for each one.. once a year is up.. title is done.. but it could be bad title .. but really never had that happen to us.. as we were as stated just buying lots and acreages. 

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity MultiplierROE = Net Profit / Sales * Sales / Assets * Assets / EquityMy argument is that net profit / sales (net profit margin) is higher and sales / assets (Asset Turnover) is lower for new construction when compared with rehabs.

Your goal should be to maximize cash flow, ROE, etc. along with the assets you manage and to minimize taxes.  

The NOI has to service the debt and should cover at least 25% more than the debt on normal product to get favorable lending terms.30-year money is generally better than 15-year money because it reduces your debt service and thus increases you ROE with positive operating leverage.

The greater the leverage the greater the Gain/Loss in regards to ROE.

Hey @Benny Gelbendorf ,The metric I personally use most often is ROE.The ones I mentioned are a sample.Many investors only look at financial data (ROI, ROE, Price/Rent, Cap Rate, GRM, Price per Unit,...) but all of those metrics are cold hard data points.

AirBNB knows they wouldn't win a case to overturn any of Boston's regulations, as they've lost every similar battle against other cities, even in their own hometown San Francisco, so the legal precedent is extremely strong against them. 

As we've considered selling or exchanging things over the years, we've realized ROE is tough to beat anywhere. 

Often times primary residences do not make good investment properties as the rent-to-price ratio is so far out of whack that cash flow is impossible or they deliver terrible Return on Equity (ROE).

So never bother to look at CoC, ROE, etc..
