I'm no real estate investor, so there is a way to think about this from a real estate perspective. So I don't want to act like it's, it's, it's an amazing real estate acquisition.

There's often chaos and unforeseen problems, but also a monotony to it, especially once the transition.
They're. An entrepreneur is on the other side of the transition and they're a year or two into the business. It can actually be quite repetitive.
