I encourage people to donate to local charities, but agents never listen.

If they've left clothes and other belongings behind, you may want to document them and bag them up as the law does require storage of items for 30 days, at which point you can donate, sell, or throw away.

And he knows I plan on donating whatever I inherit from him to local charities he's supported his whole life, in his and mom's name.  

The labor usually gets paid on those shows, but many times the input players are acting for free (publicity and excitement of TV) and many materials are donated.

That way, you can pay a ridiculous amount of money to your county and state governments as well as to the lending institution that holds your mortgage...and none of that money will go to the Federal Government (plus, you'll get big deductions).Oh, and let me recommend donating the rest of your income to charity...that way you can avoid owing the Feds anything...

Depending on the type of loan you have, a lender can donate any underwater amount to the PHA, there is a possibility for tax benefits as well as credits under the Community Reinvestment Act.

It's also productive fun- I also like hobbies where I make things (knitting, sewing, cooking, fixing up things around the house, etc), but the sense of accomplishment at the end of spending 4 weeks solid knitting a scarf is not nearly as... well, fun... as spending that four weeks putting together a deal.And once you stop needing the money to live on, it starts going to interesting projects and things you care about- I try to donate money to science research I find interesting, but tends to get ignored by the big grant institutions- I could happily, happily, spend $100 million on that and never get bored.

Churches live off donations.

Accept this guy at your own peril because I don’t care if he donates blood at the Red Cross helps little old ladies cross the street and volunteers at the local soup kitchen the guy is surely going to give you problems !!

All we ask is that you give back via a donation to BP or become a pro account member.
