When the reference was written it was valid but since then ISSUES have come to light and I NOT LONGER WISH TO BE ASSOCIATED with this current reference!

It’s great to hear that you’re already active in the Southern Maine market.

Here is Chatgpt:Yes, you can generally get a tax deduction for donating real property, like a house, to a 501(c)(3) organization, but there are a few important details to consider:Fair Market Value (FMV): For tax purposes, the deduction is based on the fair market value of the property at the time of donation.

Too many wholesalers are so eager to get a contract that they lock up properties way above market value, hoping to find a buyer who doesn’t know any better.

Are the tenants paying market rents?

I would skip this and buy a 4 family with below market rents and raise rents and do value ad to get rents up to market!  

I started my real estate career in 2014 working in marketing at PPR Note Co. with Dave Van Horn.

It's not illegal as far as i'm aware, However it only works because section 8 is so competitive in D.C, I imagine it might be a turn off to potential tenants in less competitive markets

But it does give an easy way out for busy out of state heirs who don't want to deal with organizing with other heirs to redeem the property, put it on the market and split the proceeds.

It affects the marketability/value of the property.
