Do they go to the gym, attend RE meetups, charity events, certain conferences, church...etc?

A few years ago I started a Charity calls aherohome.org  with some other BP members and with BP managements help we achieved our goal of giving away a home in Memphis to a first responder that was quite rewarding.

There is no source large enough to cover the long list of this, that, the other.The step up is nothing new but could be limited to $1m, not sure how that will be implemented.Raise your hand if you've ever heard of a charity that will "funnel" donations back to the donor?  

@MarieChele PorterNo need when you have so many possible tenants out there.It’s a business not a charity.

There are gurus that I know that have millions and millions of dollars in real estate, they write books, they speak at seminars, they create charities, etc.  

This isnt a charity.

My strategic reason for doing so is to diversify my portfolio beyond global publicly-traded businesses.For example, I have a small amount of money invested on CNote, which pays a 2.5% return from lending money to CDFIs (https://www.cdfifund.gov/), and Calvert Impact Capital, which pays me a 1% return on my investment.I use a donor-advised fund to make anonymous donations to local 501(c)(3) charities because I live in the area and want to "invest" in the quality-of-life of my community.

You are running a business, not a charity.
