With interest rates as low as they currently are, ROI is pretty hard to nail down. There is a huge difference in interest cost between different situations, and with interest as low as it is, that makes a huge difference in what one can pay and still have a profitable investment. I have historically made quick and dirty calculations using 10% interest. That is not reasonable. Right now, 5% may not even be reasonable. You can pay twice as much at 5% as you can at 10%, and if you go to 1% it is ten times as much. So much depends on your outlook. And your financial position.
