A lot of new investors understand the term ROI, return on investment, but overlook the term ROE, return on equity.

During the process I recently learned that the title company working on my case is having a hard time insuring the title deed due to the new ruling which overturns the current foreclosure tax law leaving open the opportunity for the tax lien decision to be legally voided even after a year.  

Should I continue renting it and collect $3500/month or doing 1031 exchange to get multiple units as I will get a decent amount of equity after 6 month when the mortgage is paid off.Appreciate your advice very much.thanks JaneI have several case studies I can share on optimizing your ROE.

Sure thing - Check out BP Podcast 662 with Chris LopezBy far the most important metric for those in the equity growth stageIf you would like to model out your financial scenarios to determine ROE I would recommend running the numbers for your properties/portfolio over at propertyllama.com - Full disclosure I am helping them with their launch.  

I think most investors would say - if you are cash flowing at or above your tolerance level and the property continues to appreciate at a rate at or better than your tolerance level (ROE), then hold and enjoy. 

@Peter Walther, respectfully, judges do make mistakes, but unless overturned on appeal or made without jurisdiction, their decisions are final and are law.  

Regarding Obamacare... the last poll I saw showed more people wanting it overturned than wanting it to stand, though neither were over 50% to declare a majority.

you could get that cash by selling, cash-out refi, or heloc, but of course if you do a cash-out or heloc, you'll have to factor that new debt service into your calculations...Calculate your ROE and you CoC return, and you'll probably find that they're pretty poor, and that you can get much better returns elsewhere...Good luck!

I saw one of your bigger pockets shows on ROE (return on equity) and have a few questions with my current position.

Your ROE depiction clearly shows how this is a not a good rental.
