.- Coordinate with neighbor for their potential needs (direct lease to them)- Coordinate with neighbor for access to improve market value of your dog-leg parcel- Donate the land to the local garden club to improve the aesthetics and drive higher rents. 

@Brandon IngegneriMoral and Ethics trump Greed for Money.There are a lot of things Investors do that come back to haunt them and I feel it's better to take less of a profit than to forever live with decisions that can affect your mental health and conscience.Another way you could have done it is set up a GoFundMe site for him, and just donate a substantial amount first.

All of this you can do with out an attorney.You can also fix up and rent any of the properties forever with out doing anything else with the deed.Lower end properties you could possibly donate to a housing non profit for a tax write off.John

Perhaps you can donate the space to a community group while it sits empty... get a tax write off a the very least and build good will for the future

I literally learned the business from the ground up - first construction, then worked at an equity syndication shop and now a commercial mortgage company - doing some principal investing along the way.Thanks to Carlton and a local "guru" to whom I "donated" over $15k (bootcamp and an unsecured promissory note before he filed BK).

I also read many investment magazines monthly and this is not a job, and yet I spend more time doing that than RE.I receive more than enough income to live on each month, make donations, build homes (not passive but also not required to live off) and add $$ to savings and a bypass trust.In the early stages RE was very much a job.

My reason to be a Pro is simply Charity I am donating to the site and I like to have full functionality ( even though I can't use half of it because I am quite inept at computing).

But, I get the impression that you're no longer in a place where you need to be looking out for where your next mortgage payment is coming from, and you can afford to donate your time without too much concern about whether you'll get (re-)paid for it.Unfortunately, most real estate agents these days aren't in that situation...and that's the point of view that I like to keep in mind when I ask someone to help me with something...

I know you work hard and have a busy schedule, so thanks for donating some of your time and knowledge here!
