Return on Investment?
Profit?
Capital Gain?

Although none of these are exclusively real estate terms.

Maybe you are referring to the Cap Rate?

It depends on what exactly you are looking to measure, but one metric that could be useful is MOIC (multiple of invested capital). MOIC basically takes your total inflows over an investment holding period (distributions, proceeds from sale) (say $20) and divides it by your initial investment and any incremental investments over the holding period (say, $5 in total)--in this example, you're MOIC would be 4x. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, though.

You can also refer to the return as the investment's yield.

The actual sum itself of any money made over and above your initial investment is almost always referred to as capital gain. After that I'd go with what arm426 said.
