    Yes that's correct and yes, it is a good company.... But it has been changing though.... some folks retired and new ones came in and have been changing what once was good for the drivers.. I know... nothing remains the same in the trucking business...

    If I were living in Brasil I might think about it... But since I plan on going back to the USA... no way...
    That AirBnB thing requires a lot of management and expenses... cleaning, fixing things, maintenance, dealing with hosts, etc...
    Renting for one yr with contract is less work and less headache...

    And after a year, you'd probably end up owning them money.
    Bail out while you can, sista

    So far never had a problem... there's an old lady lawyer who lives in the same building and she manages several apartments there... She has been managing that since 1999 for my parents when they were alive and we never had any problems.. She finds good tenants that stay for years and don't cause problems.... that's the key.... Now the tenant had to leave after many years and the windows must be replaced because they are all rotten... the apartment is all original... I think will also redo the floors because it's getting worn out... so that will be good for 30 more years... the floor is original good wood....

    Here are some pictures... it's a very small apartment but that is standard for middle class family in that area... going there tomorrow to measure the windows....
    Looking in from the front door entrance...

    From the living room looking to the front door and the kitchen door...

    It has two living rooms, 2 bedrooms, one bathroom and a small restroom with a toilet, one kitchen and one service area with a big sink.
    This was my bedroom... I lived there for 10 years.. all my adolescence there.... and there was nothing in front of my window... no buildings...only one gorgeous high hill that I used to climb once in a while... but now.. the place is filled up with super high buildings...

    20191220_173521.jpg

    That's the window from the other living room...

    20191220_173831.jpg

    The view outside...

    20191220_173607.jpg

    Back in the mid 70's one could see Sugar Loaf Mountain right ahead from the windows... there was nothing covering the view... now... buildings and more buildings...

    20191220_173624.jpg

    It's still a nice place.. with kids' playground outside and lots of green... The location is also awesome... Top market... If only the building were in better shape... but the dwellers don't seem interested in putting money together to get it repainted and fixed... it's a shame cause it depreciates the real estate value....

    I used to cook small roasts and boneless chicken breasts in mine. They are good for cooking a lot of things.

    I think you are holding back.......

    The perspective is good, But still lacking that 3rd dimension you are becoming known for.

    Perhaps making the inspection door open or something along that line?

    Current iteration of steam toy is a 3 wheeler. Boiler near front axle with riders either side. One wheel powered out back. Doing this allows ability to get rid of a differential. Thinking of using 16" motorcycle wheels. Spare water and liquid fuel will be mounted under the frame.
