He said in a podcast here on BP that he gives every penny he makes for doing those to charity.

No compassion, this is a business not a charity.  

That's an example but something in the middle ground that works for both of you.I'm a bit non-plussed with some of the large multi-family syndicators who like to talk about how they can force rents up for lower income people and in almost the same breath talk about how they help the same people with their charity...I think, like everything else there is a productive middle-ground where you can earn good returns and not force people into bad situations.

Many tenants want you to run a charity, not a business.

If I want to make a donation of real estate to a charity I would donate it to a charitable organization. 

I can't tell you how many WILL's I have read that have multiple kids surviving and the property is left to a charity. 

For 2017 you may be able to claim more charity contribution as deduction check your filing schedule.

This is a business move, not a charity event (at least in my book!). 

The long and short of it is that the trust would sell the props and reinvest into other income producing assets, and you could draw income from the trust during your life, and then whatever remains when you pass would go to your chosen charity (or educational institution, they reeeeealllly push this on their wealthy alums, but I like the idea of funding a worthy charity, personally).

Makes the assumption that contributing to charities is standard practice.
