So, in other words, do you purchase and then rent-out?  Or are you 
renting and passing on the rent plus some?
I would imagine you'd be purchasing then renting them out.  I've 
considered offering a similar managed service around here based on the 
BigBlock appliances I've been vetting out.  That would partly explain 
why you are so no-nonsense, David.  Consulting and leaving yourself only 
to blame is good, but you must be equally as good.  Hats off to you.  
That is how I prefer it as well.  It takes one who is able to own his 
own mistakes and learn from them as well...
