My ROE on some of my properties is horrible.

The county would refund the investors investment with no interest if the tax deed was overturned. 

My conundrum here is my ROE. $1600-$1700/month cash flow on a duplex is pretty cool but my ROE on that property is around 6%.

@Timothy Christian JrTimothy, a good way of thinking about a “good” cap rate is to view it as the cash on cash (ROE) return realized on the UNLEVERAGED (before debt service) NOI in exchange for the price paid to receive it.For example, an NOI of $100,000 with a $1,000,000 price produces a 10% ROE $100,000 / $1,000,000 = 10%In the case above, the 10% return also represents the Acquisition Cap Rate.

In many markets, your ROE on that $500 per month would be 10X if you put it in to a rental or ten. 

One thing to keep in mind is that even though a property is "cash flowing" monthly, it could still be underperforming whether that is having a low LTV (loan to value) or low ROE (return on equity). 

@Angela Aybar just calculate your ROE and have a good think about your 5 year goals and decide from there :)

Property insurance roes have got a lot of press as providers pull out of various markets and prices increase. 

When it comes to RE investing how important is ROE VS.

Ugh.2 questions: 1) Are there some heuristics for what ROE (return on equity) and expected appreciation indicates a sell position v. a hold?
