Return on revenue (or return on sales) is an indication of operating profit margins (NOI/revenue) and has nothing to do with how a deal is financed.For a typical rental, using the 50% rule, your ROR is going to be about 50% (not quite, because things like vacancy and capex aren't expensed, but you get the idea).Now, if you're asking about your ROI or your IRR, those are theoretically infinite, as you are earning a positive return on zero investment (the denominator of the return ratio is zero).
