I don't care what the excuse is, I am not a charity and they are getting the notice.

I got the pleasure of sitting with him the following night and chatting about how he does things and his current personal goal to give 1 million dollars to charity while still alive.  

But basically you're either going to be a private charity for them or do what you need to do and gain a significant Income.

Adam Bartomeo  of course commissions drive their actions. just like a flipper profits drives there actions or anyone else in the world of commerce.. you do something in the expectation of compensation.. this is not a charity .I am buying a flip right now in cape Coral with some great AGENTS who brought it to me.they will make commission plus profit.. you need to know how to work agents, and instead of grinding on them you reward them be surprised how well that works.. offer more than anyone else is offering and all of  a sudden a guy like me can be sitting at my desk in Oregon buying a home in Cape Coral for  110k that needs 10k and will relist at 180k with expectation of full turn in 90 some days.. don't need to be a genius to know that that realtor not only is going to get the selling to me commish and the relist commish but part of the profit as well for marshaling the rehabh witch is cosmetic.. so why would this realtor not want to work with me when they can make 20k or so on one 110k deal..

Commit yourself to running a charity, not a business.  

OR 1)Buy a Vending Machine Route2)Buy a dealer's license and flip a few cars3)Buy an income producing website4) Become a Silent Business Owner ( Invest in to someone else's business ) 5) If you don't need the money, donate to charity.

Folks told me I was in the charity business - no one says that now.Best to you.

If you have or will receive equity in or title to the property, the rent is not deductible... many find this definition cryptic and unsatisfactory in some ways.Question... can the investor 'legally' charge rent to the charity?

I have mine hung with Rob Conway at Charity Realty in Litchfield Park.

You are not a NGO charity you are a business and you need to learn how to properly operate a business suited to the area you invest in.
