Yeah, good costed equipment with a good coin should have ROI's of a few months or less if you are lucky. Cloud mining just seemed little underwhelming.
I remember when we mined BTC back in 2013 and how fast we made our money back till the crash in November of that year. I only wish we would have stayed mining the whole time since then as we could have done great but we sold that equipment for break even (not counting the 14 BTC we mined back then).
