The whole thing intrigued me. But it really having a go in the GFC and working seven days a week. What a kid....
Great you having a good time and enjoying the stay in the US.

Now to that statement, sorry to bust your bubble but there is no "low cost lease" in Miami. Even a "vacant" lot cost estimated based on space for 60 cars --- 20K at least. Well, there is taxes, insurance, permit and and and...
On top of that you have to come up with the security deposit - may a hard working kid and makes a good buck on tips, but someone makes the money.
