I actually do a lot of voting on new members because I know the 10 cents can really help some people out. If my pennies make a difference for someone then that is great. It's actually one reason I would like to get some delegated power. Sure it helps my posts out, but to be able to upvote more posts in a day would be great. My account is only building to give back to the community and if down the road that makes me some money great...but it's secondary.

The money I need to profit from can happen from trading activities and my other business ventures. I do keep about 100 steem to trade around and make quick profits which are used for things like giving back to the direct to vendor movement by @greenman and cover some minor expenses when cash is needed quickly...things happen with 2 kids...lol.

As for leasing Blocktrades hasn't seemed to have any available in a while now. Will have to dig a little deeper into it and see what I can find. Thanks for your time.
