I bet you can even get some of the larger investors to donate homes that they cant sell or don't want to bother trying to sell for tax breaks.

I stopped eating out, I quit cigarettes, I educated myself, I cancelled memberships I wasn't using or could go without, I stopped buying clothes that would eventually end up in a donation bin, and I stopped sitting on the couch when I wasn't at my W2. 

Take the half of the deposit and donate it as a tax deduction to Wounded Warriors, your local Veteran Administration Chapter, or another military organization or services that needs the help.A man wiser than I once said (thanks Dad)..."

I agree with everyone who said that you should run things as a business, but even the biggest of businesses occasionally make charitable donations.  

I try to donate clothes coats and shoes, sell decent furniture items so the buyer has to carry them away then bag up the rest and send it all to the dump.

I am sure the OP will give you the tenant's info if you want to donate $2k a month to her like you expect the OP to do.

If you are going to give to charity, it should be a donation you can write off.  

We do donate a small portion of our re commissions to a program called KW Cares and I'm on the culture committee at my office.

Give me $1 and I’ll tell you everything I know, and donate the $1 to charity.  

I payed 3k for one and the other donated 500$ I wish I had asked on this platform as you guys have done.Not worth it, wish I had never listened to that podcast that in turn had me look her up to find out what her secret  but not so secret was.
