I admit it has been quite some time since I was in Alexandria, but I don't remember that many bridges there.

This has gotten so ridiculous that I am laughing out loud and the dogs are looking at me funny) We were a landlord for awhile and we never sued anyone. We had people do damage and just kept their security deposit. As others noted it is not worth it to sue unless the damage done to the place is extensive.
I've just started using Uber as a rider and I've been surprised at the number of older drivers. I thought initially that it would be mainly millennials doing it as an extra gig. Could be a good way to limit cash burn for the OP.
Funny, I had the same thought yesterday. My Uber driver on Monday was probably mid-50s. My brother who is early 50s is using it as his full time job. When I talked to him about it last December, he was pulling in about $20 per hour and said he could earn more if he worked during surge hours. Not bad for a job where you set your own hours.

$20/hr might sound good but that's before taxes, right? They are self employed so FICA taxes are double so they are probably paying 30% in tax. Then they have to figure in much faster depreciation of their vehicles. I'm sure it's under $15/hr when all costs are factored in. Better than some jobs but not that great.

It would seem like an Uber driver would get a chance to meet and talk with many people, some who might know of good employment opportunities for someone willing to work (i.e. an Uber driver). The driver could put a rack in the car full of pamphlets for Amway, Herbalife, Avon, Tupperware, timeshares, whatever. You've got the poor soul trapped in the car with you, this is the time to lay on the hard sell!I took two Uber rides. One driver said he was not making enough, while the other one said he was very choosy where he'd pick up (fare mileage had to be twice as long as his mileage to and from) and that he was mainly doing it to make contacts for his real estate business.

I've never seen a millenerial uber driver, just older people
I've probably only taken 20 uber rides so my sample size probably isn't that credible
20 more than me!
I think this is exactly correct but still might be something for OP to consider.
There is quite a bit of research out there that indicates being an Uber/Lyft driver isn't all that lucrative. Clark Howard did an experiment for a while to see what he could *actually* make doing it...and it wasn't all that great. Also, I don't think drivers last very long; I have taken 30+ Uber rides and I don't EVER remember one of the drivers saying they had been doing it for more than a couple of months.
