. :-) If it works, you can make a donation to our church. :-)I’m being serious on both.

Donate 20% of my income to organizations/people in need

However, if you are donating with the idea of also being on title with all four of you as owners, this seems like a "joint ownership" scenario.

Known options are to 1031 into another building and donate to a church/temple. or is it better to just sale the property and donate the proceeds to offset the capital gaines taxes?

Charitable donations are also exempt from taxes.

If there is any Full time investors either in Bakersfield Ca or Riverside Ca that need extra help, I can donate upwards of 10 hours out of my week either to run numbers, help find properties or anything in between as long as it can be done from home, giving I work from my home office.

And you better donate to the Sheriff's re-election campaign or you may be denied a permit to carry.

I am donating all my other real estate investing books to the Goodwill and I am only keeping my books where I don't need a commercial loan for the first 10 properties. 

With a DAF, my financial return comes from the deduction for charitable donations on my tax return.

I've been trying to donate them to no avail.
