The average deal in my area is doing between 5k and 10k, so bringing our income to 60k by the end of next year with 20% of the take home (50% to my partner, 25% to reinvest in marketing and automation, and 5% in donating) would require about 4 deals a month.

Amazon "could donate" $2B

If you take all your profits and donate to charity there is no tax. 

Not everyone has the time available to donate.

Show them your value, and donate it, if they find usefulness in it you'll be on your way.

Her husband died this year (googling obit - donations in lieu of flowers for a young guy). 

There was money donated from lot owners in a fund and they chose to pay off two lot owners debt in order to keep them out of foreclosure (total $4000).

@Parmer Cherry, Yes you can donate items to qualified charity and possibly get a deduction. 

My company could donate the rental if people are still interested.

also you could donate the homes to a local charity who then make sure the tenants still meet requirements and then you fill it in and get a tax write off.
