Now I have to work a couple days a week and as far as the infamous toilet issue get “Roto-Rootor” on speed dial.Just buy property.

I think managing a rental without swinging the infamous hammer "could" be a service. 

Note the other instances of ROI such as Dividend Yield, Interest Yield, Net Income Yield, Net Operating Income Yield (aka the infamous "cap rate"), these are all different types of ROI.ROI is a generic concept of how efficient an investment can generate return as such it is a concept that is applicable in investments other than real estate (i.e. stocks, bonds, etc). 

I will certainly look for the infamous "Michael Le" to connect with you both @Michael Le :) I am also researching local brokers, so appreciate any input on that end as well.Holly
