You are under no obligation to continue, and while you say he was just trying to get paid, I mean yeah - it isn't for charity.

The person did not want to do the Charity.

You do realize that this is my job, not charity work?

CBRE said to expect a spike in demand for warehouse space from building supply companies, charities, and consumer-goods distributers.

I can list 100 charities that would be better.

Just keep learning the lingo of the business, get people to trust you more and more, and you will hear that POF roadblock less and less.For issue #2: I would start with your local REIA, the Chamber Of Commerce, the Rotary Club, charity dinners, seminars held by IRA custodians and anywhere that people hang out that do well and probably have money that they really don't know what to do with it.  

Another option to consider depending on where the property is located you might be able to donate it to the city to turn into a small park, or a charity, or an urban farming organization. 

A little backstory, I bought the house in June and in November my property manager finally found a tenant through a charity that helps homeless people find homes.

I have learned in life that way too many curve balls can get thrown at you, that you constantly have to re-evaluate those goals.One goal I would like to share, somewhat RE related, is to give away $50,000 to charity in 2018.

You'll get nowhere with the goal of being the "understanding", aka charity, landlord.Concerning Purchases: BUY asap.
