I have donated more houses to churchs and charity than you have fingers.. so I understand both sides of the coin. our state its illegal to wholesale the way you guys do and the way the guru's teach it but I bet the guru will take your money even though they SHOULD know its illegal in the state the person paying the fee is working in.here is a snippet from our state department of real estate financial investigator a talk we had this week.

My partner and i just lost all our investments with them they promised to do all the work and that we would collect the 18+% percent interest rate on our money basically all my certificates expired and my money is considered a "DONATION" WTF!!!!

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

You're welcome to donate to my Venmo - otherwise - enjoy the fruits of my labor :)  1.

Even if you are not ex-military, you can still join PenFed by donating small amount for US military.

I also love that you take the time to sell and donate many of the items instead of just throwing everything in the garbage.

Joshua Dorkin Trade Secrets :D I'm guessing the "donate" is a weighted parameter.

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.

Register for a BP Pro account or make a donation to Biggerpockets.

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
