So you take your yearly net of $3600/yr, divide by your $130k in equity, your return on that equity is less than 3%.I do evaluate my rentals again after they have appreciate, and I've sold 2 rentals over the past 2 years because they were no longer giving me the return I needed, and I could reinvest that into better performing properties
