--68.62.153.91 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Free house (by BRAD 20,000 [IN]) Posted on: Jun 18, 2012 7:50 AM Message: Boy Scouts or church.

Donate it to a charity, fire dept, church, etc and get a write off1.

The wildcard here is that much of the labor was done by the owners, their family, and their friends and members of their church, some of whom are professionals.

There was a guy at the church I went to in Crandall that was a successful retired business guy (tire stores).

As to "Sector" you could follow some principles, such as angel stock or defense, staying with church properties or SFDs, but profits are limited due to the lack of volatility in pricing.But, that is not to say you should not be fully versed in all aspects of RE investing, since different types of deals or opportunities are presented regardless of economic conditions.

I think they initially set up their organization as a church and are apparently labeled a non profit org. by the state.I have tracked down the Chairman of what appears to be their 3 member board.

One of my major selling points as far as rental or when it comes to selling the house is the fact that I am in a very family-friendly neighborhood with churches schools,shopping, a beautiful river for recreation and the interstate all within a stones throw.

Relatives, church, homeless shelter placement worker, etc.

I give locally and to select groups (usually church related and not necessarily my denomination) as I trust them and know they will use the funds wisely.

A small church accross the street, most houses in the general vacinity are pretty run down.
