People who renovate their kitchens often donate whole big kitchens of cabinets

Essentially, people could donate money and get tax deductions and then that money could be pooled to buy property, fix it, rent it and pay a manager.I’m assuming it would be similar to a self invested Ira.

It is possible that a donation into a charitable trust of the boot proceeds (the recognized gain) could offset. 

Like others mention I would recommend the book Short Term Rental, Long Term WealthThere are other good books, too - We had a number of them and, about a year ago, donated them to a friend getting into the STR business.As your first STR, I recommend an area you are familiar with.

Someone told me to treat the transfer as 1 for 1, and then treat the 2nd lot separately as a gift donation. 

But you have to be there 10 years consistently after obtaining the proper residency and approved permits AND meet the annual donation requirements, THEN it will be reduced to 5%.However, after reviewing this again,I feel all the other details associated with Act 60 is not really worth my while.

All my money is still in equities.I'm sure by now at lot of people in my position would have already reached out, but I'm not going to waste someones time until I'm fairly sure I have a path forward.I'm a mentor of sorts in the tech space and have learned I can't wish/donate/coach/bribe people into having drive.

Only other way is donate all the gains to charity.
