explaining it with an example is a great way to kind of understand it. So if you have a house that's renting for $2,000 a month, that's set by us at $500 a month, and let's say that our management fee is just $150 on that property, we would keep $150. So that would bring the amount of— from $2,000 down to $1,850. Then we hold back the $500 property reserve amount. That would be $1,350 that would be going to you.
