I copied this from a search on real estate ROE:Return on Equity (ROE) ratio calculates the amount of return generated in a particular year on the total amount of equity invested (or trapped) in a property.The amount invested (or denominator) is calculated as the initial investment (down payment) plus the entire increase in net property’s appreciation and the entire decrease in outstanding loan balance incurred prior to the year the ratio is being calculated.Cash-on-Cash Return is a similar calculation, but since the two draw backs of the traditional Cash-on-Cash Return are that property appreciation and principal debt payments are not factored into the formula, Return on Equity adds these two components to the traditional Cash-on-Cash Return calculation.A property’s net equity increase is calculated by determining what the “Net Sale Proceeds after Taxes” would be at the beginning of a year, and then again at the end of the year.

I've seen a handful of condos in the MLS this week that have had price decreases so hopefully (for me anyway, lol) that's a trend that continues into next year when I'm ready to buy and not just a couple of outliers.

Keep in mind that some improvements and renovations you have made over the years will likely increase your basis in the property and decrease you capital gains.Make sure you find a CPA who specializes in real estate, rather than someone who works with all industries.

If you pay less than the assessed value, the property taxes should decrease the following year, but not the year that you purchase the property.

However if we were to wait and use 5K of cash flow instead to pay for something after 1 year of renting, would that decrease the "estimated repairs" number to $20K in that calculator or would it make no difference whether it's cash from the business or personal cash out of pocket as far as the cash on cash return calculation is concerned?
