I'm getting the Maverick as a 2nd vehicle. I've had a truck in the past, and I miss it. It's an added expense and annoyance to have to rent a Uhaul to go to HomeDepot or the dump. Also, it'll be much easier to pick up pieces of furniture off the curb in a truck, rather than having to shove them in the back of a Chevy Cruze.

As a landlord, I'm curious what your experience is with renters in today's extremely competitive rental market? How did Covid-19 affect you or your renters? Did you have anyone who refused to pay?

Oh I soooo want a Bentley!!!!!

I don't. I'd feel very self conscious parking my car outside the dollar store if I drove a Bentley.

Saw my leg off and count the rings. I get paid to either piss people off or make someone's day for a company that's older than me.

40. IT Service Delivery Manager. So, I get to work from home and manage a team of developers all over the country.

I have also served in the Army as a broadcast journalist and have a masters degree in management. So, I know how to research, jump to my own conclusions, and then stubbornly stick with them.

Welcome my "Army Brother from Anotherr Mother"!! I was in from 1981-1993 as a “Distinguished Armored Technician”. I became a “Computerized Distinguished Armored Technician”, (AKA Jedi Tanker), then was on Recruiting duty from 1989-1992 and “Put ‘Em in Boots”. Finished as a Jedi Tanker.

I only did four years but spent over a quarter of that in warzones with the 10th Mountain or 18th Airborne. I figured after surviving two warzones with only being hit broadside by a truck being my largest injury, I should quit while I was ahead.

One poster suggested that I should have conducted a poll. Had I know how to do that I would have...I'm 74 HELLO! So if someone out there wishes to assist me, than great, I am always accepting of help. Otherwise direct the negativity elsewhere.

I was wondering how polls get created, so I investigated the process - at least far enough along to figure out how it would work...

When you create your new thread, you'll find a link way down at the bottom of the page - look just above the "Post Thread" and "Preview" buttons - that reads "Post a poll." It's not real obvious, but it's there.

Once you click on that link, you get a prompt for the poll question, and another prompt for possible response(s). After you enter the first potential response, a new field appears where you can enter additional responses. After you've entered all the responses, you'll see a series of options to allow single or multiple responses, whether people can change their responses, etc. When you've selected all the options you want, you can "Preview" what it's going to look like, to make sure it's right. Click on the "Post Thread" button when you're happy with it, and you're done!.

I was lucky that none of my tenants lost their jobs. So I missed no rent during covid.

Forgot to add: 66 years old. Retired IT Exec. Prior to that I was a US Army helicopter instructor pilot / aeroscout pilot.

I served during the longest stretch of time since WW1 that the US was not at war and/or involved in a "police action" anywhere around the globe... So I guess we did our job - keeping the peace. LOL
