You're in a business world, not a charity 

I am currently involved in a charity out here in Denver that helps those in financial crisis.  

I wouldn't have done much worse if I gave them to a charity.

I really think the " QUESTION" is do you raise rents... if you do you keep up with inflation, if you don't your a charity,, Does the gas station at the corner care if you drive a beater or a new car??

Landlords planned for a rainy day, but they didn't plan for the federal government to come in and tell them that their business is now a charity whether they like it or not.

He is not a charity! 

@John ReelIf this potential mentor is genuinely doing well at their business, their goal for this meeting is to find how you can contribute to that business.Unless this mentorship is a charity (<1% chance) you will have to add value to this relationship.Ask questions such as.What are we in the business of doing?

So I stepped in we formed a JV and I bought them all so that he/we could resell.. cost him some money as of course I am not running a charity.. but it kept him in business once he got on the DRE radar. :) I suspect in SC my type of services will now become common place.

Aloha,Ask yourselves, are you running a business, or a charity?
