They can make enormous profits at razor thin margins, which will throw you out of business unless you want to donate your own money to run it as a charity.

I donated over $40,000 last year and this year to charity - I care about humanity, and making a difference.   

Ray in Ct.Thanks Ray, I never thought of contributing it to a charity - I kind of like that idea.

I was thinking wounded warriors, but most of these charities just want money they don't want help unless it is to collect money.

They control a lot of the money by giving to charities and knowing what every cent is being spent on.

You probably did, I forgot you were a professional.Microsoft has a huge employee charity drive every year ("Giving Campaign"), which includes a big company auction to raise money. 

Only a suggestion:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maybe have mentees work for you 40 to 80 hours within a year ( for free )Help with demo or cleaning things up before actual rehab takes place ( non skill work -> A little sweat equity for your training )Successful mentees maybe agree to pay forward to other biggerpockets members within 5 years( paying forward training / newly obtain knowledge )Required reading materials Successful mentees agree to donate 1 – 2 % of their profits to biggerpocket or your charity for the next 2 two yearsMaybe successful mentees to run wholesale or other deals past there mentor 1st before contacting other investors ( 2 – 3 year agreement )Again only a few suggestions versus being negative toward the ideal

Then I chase money because my wife has a charity helping indigent children in India and we both want to expand it.

I've done all kinds of charity work however never did any one thing on purpose or for thought out reason.

Who did some charity work this year and what did ya do?
