But I guess if you want to do rehabs and you don’t know what is involved, you might want to go get elbow deep in plaster or planting trees and see if you really want to do the work yourself or hire it out. Me, I like to write checks.

If you have an office you can get a bunch of your coworkers down there with you and have some fun.
