The Property is located in a class C area, right in front of a nice park and close to downtown, shopping malls, churches and a hospital.I walked there at night and I felt safe.

What if her church is a existing entity?

In fact everyone to think about donating a piece of property to your church(or other non-profit cause you believe in) immediately before the sale, the church then sells to your buyer, no taxes to you, church gets all the gain, and while we didn't do it this way, I suppose you could have a mortgage to get paid back your cost.

Once I have the deal lined up we deed the property to our church, the church assigns me to close the deal, and the church gets all the money.

I am still pretty new to REI, but this month I partnered with another investor, and we are establishing a partnership with a local charity organization/church and are establishing a shelter/hand-up establishment for veterans in the first floor of an old hotel that we are renovating. 

In the 1950s, 2800 buildings were removed just for the Edsel Ford Expressway (I-94), including jazz nightclubs, churches, community buildings, businesses and homes.[17] The freeways also made commuting from suburban communities a more viable alternative to living in the city limits.The destruction of these neighborhoods with little warning or effort on the part of the city to provide housing assistance was catastrophic for the African American community in Detroit.

So I spoke to someone at my church who has rentals and he suggested that I offer 60K less than asking. 

We had ALOT of traffic in and out of the house with kids, church gatherings, etc. and the flooring is still as good today as the day it went in. 

I just heard horror stories from a guy in my church who's son lives in DC and he tried to build a deck.
