What does High Yield mean to you?

When you hear High Yield, what ballpark do you think of?  Many passive RE investors, hard money lenders, and note buyers seem to be happy with low double digit rates of return, thinking that, relative to stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities, mid-teens is a respectable yield.  

Since we all seem to think that Robert Kiyousaki hung the moon, what does he teach?  Watch the Financial Intelligence part of the video that comes with the Cashflow 101 game from 1:40 to 2:00.  We scoff at the 80% who just spend the $10K and have nothing to show for it at the end of the year.  Likewise, we hope that we can do better than the 16% who just put the cash in the bank at 1/2% interest.  But how many investors here routinely and comfortably experience triple or quadruple digit returns on 5-figure or higher investments of their capital?
