Invest in your favorite charity.

.- Talk to charities about starting an "outreach" program/facility...- Talk to Chamber of commerce asking for referrals to people who can help with your cause…- Talk to the local Mayor and City Manager’s office asking for guidance…- Other local political people… (this stuff looks good for them on their resume)Talk, talk, talk… put together a brochure outlining your vision for the whole thing… and tell everyone you are looking for help… Just getting a loan is not the answer… you need regular reoccurring income in order to keep it a float!

You could always write the book and give it away in electronic format or sell it and give the proceeds to charity.

Than tell them your not a charity and you have a family to feed so you can't risk all this money and not make a property.

I don't want to piss him off in the face of his medical problems.....but I don't do this for charity. 

I'm not sure that I would invest my money or time in helping someone unless I knew for a fact it would be worthwhile or it's for charity.

I gave you a charity vote @Joe Gore :-)

Any charity or government entity that pays you more than $600 in rent is going to require a W9 and will issue a 1099.  

@Charity Suttles Thank you and that's a great question!

(There is a school four properties away so they may have wanted to prevent school kids from investigating the unsafe structure) It's not humorous at all that a tenant lost her home, I am unsure if she had renters insurance but I set her up with my church St Pauls Episcopal in Maumee where they operate a food pantry and keep a charity fund for just this purpose and she already has the red cross housing her.
