He joined the party in power, donated money to that party, helped with fund raisers and even offered to let the county use his vacant house as a polling place gratis.They still would not give him an occupancy permit, and he refuses to tear the house down, so its a stalemate.

“Celebrating a 65 year tradition, dedicated fire fighters from the Detroit Fire Department will hit the streets with boots in hand asking pedestrians, motorists and other passersby to make a donation to MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association.) on August 6-9.”- WXYZABCDetroit August 4 2019

I'm not sure what the upside is for the people donating money to you (other than being nice).  

What the team did over in AZ was that they were letting them know with a brown paper bag and to leave any items they would like to be donated to the local Food Bank and to just leave the bag outside as they would pick it up and deliver to the bank in the coming days, a great way to introduce yourself to a neighborhood and potential clients!

For Schedule A you have $10k of taxes (your residence plus SC state taxes, capped at $10k combined) plus whatever mortgage interest on your residence (if any) plus charitable donations.

If you want a high end custom house, you have to pay for it.A few points of reference:1) Affordable housing as built by Habitat for Humanity, with donated labor and many donated materials generally costs about $75/sf to build (excluding land).2) Our medium range non-custom houses cost between $125-$150/sf to build.

I would personally donate 25% of the net to God, 25% to charities/family, and use the first mill to pay off all debts then go buy/build my dream apartment complex.

I'd go to the food shelf and pick up a food donation for them, I'd give them the 50 bucks back and let them know you appreciate them as tenants and your waving the late fee this month as long as the rent was paid in full and it's not usual practice..
