My Frugal Miser - April 2021 Income

April was most likely the best month I will have in 2021.

The Airbnb was booked every day except four that I blocked.  Three of those days we were out of town; the fourth I needed to take offline for maintenance.

I received a PPP loan which I am including as income since I hope to have it forgiven.  I also received a decent sized settlement check from the Rent a Center Securities Class Action.

I received rent for two of the Birmingham rental properties.  The tenant of the other property paid rent late and my management company didn't send it to me before the end of the month.

Lyft offered me a $300 bonus to give 20 rides.  It had been over a year since I did rideshare.  I ended up doing 33 rides.  There was a significant amount of surge during the weekend I did this.  On a different day Uber offered a $100 bonus to make 3 food deliveries.  I averaged more than $50/hour with the bonuses, but that probably won't happen again.

My investment accounts were up.  Way up.  My largest position, Vereit, announced it was being acquired by Realty Income.  Major gain in a single day.  I will probably sell my shares since they will otherwise convert to shares of Realty Income.  The only downside to this amazing gain is figuring out where to re-allocate my cash.
