Take you 501 C 3 tax exempt non-profit have the seller (dealer) donate an amount, say half of the vehicle and pay the difference with a higher price so the dealer gets basically the same benefit.

If you want to be charitable with your tenants in need, donate to a local agency that helps the needy and let them pass it to the tenant.

If you self manage you can donate your management time to your property and that puts some more cash in your pocket.

That's where Habitat for Humanity is building for with donated materials!

I ended up donating it and the savings disappeared.

When someone can really, buy, sell and donate the change of others, it's not a bragging point in polite and more sophisticated company.

I could repair the old shed and leave it, but I'm considering donating the old shed and having a nice 10x12 shed built in the back corner of the yard ($1750) instead.The house is 940 square feet and the yard is 50 x 35.

That would pay back Habitat for the donated materials, volunteer labor, and Habitat money that helped make your mortgage affordable by only being half of what the house would have cost on the open market, If the market really took off and your house was worth $100,000 when you went to sell it though, that extra profit would be yours as the homeowner.

@Marcus Isaac Donating to HFH makes sense.

Do I just take the loss and tell him to keep it, donate the house (assuming anyone would have it) for a tax write off, try to find someone that wants to fix the place and give it to them for what I paid for it (it also has about 1500 in back taxes due on it),....
