However, I never got any new business through offering a portion of my commission to charity.

My offer is this: If they are within a 7-hour radius of me (I live in Richmond, VA), I will drive to them, take them to lunch + give $250 to the charity/cause of their choice in exchange for their time and advice.  

I'm not rich enough to be a charity just yet :crazed:

I can see beginner landlords many who are undercapitalized to begin with or don't have much in the way of reserves .. they have to treat things different than well position and cash reserved landlords who  may look at this as a form of charity or giving back to a long term tenant.. 

What are my plans other than volunteer for a local charity, go fishing, hiking, or roaming around the world?

Whether it is helping your community, a charity, or any other way of giving back please share your stories.

I felt bad about the deal but I'm not a charity and I had to evict her.    

In other cases, the charity has allowed property owners to modify the easement or develop the land in a manner inconsistent with the easement’s restrictions." 

But you didn't go into REI to do charity.
