Even nonprofits who build basic houses with cheap/volunteer labor and donated materials are lucky to hit a number that low.My advice if you're looking to build on the cheap: Simplify your design as much as possible, reduce your square footage if possible, and choose builder grade materials and basic finishes.

I expect to see the class-action lawsuit come out in no less than 60 days, delay is just to allow all the various person signing on and donating.

All of the ways we're able to donate and help others but ultimately, I don't think you know wealth freedom until you've experienced losing and regaining your health because you simply had access to money.   

They are my students and my friends and they are always welcome to connect with me, which they do from time to time.The Story of my program wasn't about making every single Student Rich.... it was about making myself accessible, donating my time, to help transfer my knowledge, experience and education, for free, to ANYONE that wanted it, no matter what their background was.I didn't charge anything but $20 per student per week which paid for the room (this is NYC, it's expensive to rent a conference room) and many times I had to take a loss when students couldn't afford to pay even that.Let's just say that in regards to the 95% Failure Rate, instead, I would say that I see the glass as 5% full.BTW, 100% of my former students can take any other courses.

@Jay Hinrichs @Michaela G.You get the appraisal done before the loan, so if your numbers are off you basically donated $500 to an appraisal company.Or if the appraiser doesn't know what he/she is doing and prices are way off

Charity is not warranted so if you want to show gratitude simply make a donation, and get a tax write off, to the charity of your choice.

Here are some tips to mitigate capital gains on real estate sales:Use the Primary Residence Exclusion: If you have lived in the property as your primary residence for at least 2 of the past 5 years, you may be eligible to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples filing jointly) of the capital gains from your taxable income.Consider a 1031 Exchange: A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains taxes by investing the sale proceeds into a similar property.Make Capital Improvements: Upgrades or improvements made to the property can increase the tax basis and reduce the capital gains.Time Your Sale: Timing the sale of your property during a period of low home values can reduce the amount of capital gains subject to tax.Donate a Portion of the Property: Donating a portion of the property to a qualified charity can reduce the amount of capital gains subject to tax.Seek Professional Advice: Consult a tax professional or financial advisor for personalized guidance on minimizing capital gains taxes.Note: Tax laws are subject to change and can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances.

So, when I had tenants ready to move in, I offered to donate the fridge to them if they needed it with the understanding that they were liable for any repairs. 

-Donate 10% of the income to the property, which would be used to qualifying upgrades.So my goals with this was to not be surprised by it happening, have airbnb (or similar) screen the guests, and share in the benefit of someone generating money off of my investment. 

Giving this tenant money every month (in the way of reduced rent) is far less impactful than giving $100 worth of groceries per month to a soup kitchen, or donating $100 month to a worthwhile cause.
