    "Better than bank interest"

    Rant mode on... It's a pretty common statement used in the advertising blurb for property. For example..."8% return. Better than your money in the bank". Really?! I don't think that comparing to bank interest is that simple! I would love to ask the blurb writers to justify their statement...
