On top of all of that, he and my mother are scheduled to go on a mission's trip to Africa in August and he won't have the cash to go unless these deals refinanced.Well, miracle of miracles, both refinanced on Friday and I am sending him a big chunk of cash that should ensure he doesn't die of heart attack in the next 6 weeks and that the little children in Africa will actually get something to eat next week.

And the biggie, a non-profit can enter ointo any lawful business activity to produce income for it's non-profit mission.

Motivational mission accomplished...

When I founded my RE investing company one of the missions I set for the company was to improve the communities where we invest.

This is why other posters are bringing up an about us page, mission statement, build trust, etc.

I would characterize this a misdirected mission (as set in law).I concur and again direct you to the above mentioned academics and their studies especially their recommendations for reform.If you are worried about losing money placed on deposits at banks, you can always hold cash.

I'm sure they view this as consistent with their mission of fostering home ownership.There is also a standard deed restriction with fannie indicating you can't resell for more than 20% above what you paid for 90 days.

By the way, that mission hasn't been accomplished yet.

So here is an example as to how this might work...the subject park might have 300 pads, located in Texas, probably in the Valley (Brownsville - Mission).

BTW, they did have a couple of their reps attend the local REIA meeting one night to explain what it is they do - part of the educational aspect of their mission.
