If you are being "charitable", I say great but be sure you are giving to a real charity so you can get the tax break too; not too many tenants are charities as recognized by the IRS.

Its essentially charity.

Let me pose this question, how many people on here give back to their communities, have you donated some sweat equity, give some money to a charity, even said a kind word to a homeless guy/ gal on the street.My personal opinion is that these political parties are set up to keep people under control and thats it.... everyone was so happy and filled with hope for obama now he's going to be the death of our america; there is no our america its is and always will be changing; john f. kennedy faced hell to get elected because he was catholic and it was though he was going to be taking orders from the pope, now he's looked back on with rose tinted glasses.People fight so hard against education and understanding the world outside of their little box; i've seen programs where people would shout burn the books but leave our bible alone; people still thinks the sun revolves around the earth, or don't know where the sun goes at night. . . its not about democrats or republicans i'm sure most of you guys know that those parties basically flipped during the civil rights era; i often hear people say were the party of abraham lincoln really what does that mean, in todays world it means nothing!

IRS URL : http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=96104,00.html But I would strongly advise speaking with your chosen IRA custodian to put it all in plain English.

This was a poorly written article that you are trying to further distort.This is not AIG company money, these are personal contributions by employees of AIG.They have there own personal interest in who becomes elected in any election and can give the money to whomever they wish.If you work for a company and you donate to a candidate or charity or anything, is that the same as your company donating?

I don't know the Bay area too well, but I'm pretty certain that you won't be able to do anything with $20k.The only thing I would add to Charity's list is the midwest, especially Cleveland.

I do not see any way that you can help this person short of charity.

I love my job but want to free up my time through real estate to work more with charities.

Thinking to do the trust as an exit strategy, feed the proceeds thru a trust, annuity or some type of funds I can control, donate the remainder 10% to charity.

They want to give more to a charity in future.
