Sort of, Kreez. The ROI percentage tells you what percentage of your total investment is returned on a per-day basis (assuming you collect as soon as it becomes available).

Take the Fighting Fish for example: $2,240/3 hours = $17,920 per day. Total cost to upgrade the Fighting Fish business is $125,200 So the return you get every day divided by the cost gives you the percentage of the investment cost (per day) Sticking with the fighting fish: $17,920 / $125,200 = about 14%

Which means it'll take about 7 days (100 / 14 = 7.1) to "get your money back" from the investment cost.

Now... take a look at the Gambling Den. 2% investment returned per day means it'll take 50 days to get your investment back.

But, to answer the second part of your question, NONE of the businesses in Bangkok will get you even close to the amount of money you're going to need to get through it. You'll have to fight or farm good money jobs for Baht to get through it.
