People do it constantly and decide to just live in those properties and raise families.You already have them beat by deciding to buy something you will rent out for financial gain.

A financial incentive to move may be less messy though.

I'm an aspiring real estate investor with the ultimate goal to one day own an apartment complex and live my life with full financial freedom.   

Also, I made sure that I did some minor exterior improvements on the duplex the very first weekend that I had the keys to be visible to them and show them that I will be making an effort to hopefully make their home a nicer place to live over time.

We have purchased a 4 unit just a week ago that we paid 50K for the property but added 20K for improvements flipped a unit the week after close and raised rent $125/mo.

I mean would you rather begin working towards financial independence or have a car that you could eventually repurchase later.

Have you done your due diligence outside of the financial aspect?

These funds usually come from the seller (or some other source) as a financial incentive to induce someone to buy their property.

At first blush, donating housing sounds like something you might be able to claim, again, as a donation- not as the church operating the multifamily- but even as a financial planner tax rules make my head hurt so please talk to a CPA before making any promises

I don’t see me losing money by just doing cosmetic improvements but it’s not going to be lucrative either.
