I'll take it that it's not affecting yours.Since you're obviously a PHD in climatology I won't waste my time on a cherry picked fact finding mission with you.

If they are deceased you have a mission ahead of you to find out who is the trustee for the estate and what status the estate is in.

I currently am active in the Irvine, Fullerton, and Mission Viejo areas.

Our Mission Statement is “We are dedicated to providing innovative, world class products and superior support that make a difference in our customers’ lives.

It sounds like a focused mission statement that can be made successful with knowhow and money.

Because of the abuse, neighbors fought back - and they are exceptionally organized, especially the older folks, and have a mission to make “homes, not hotels.”With these highly organized groups of neighbors that petition to their local governments, STR owners have earned a bad name.

I can't stress enough how diplomatic and non accusatory I was in this email.

Unless you are on a mission to help felons, are ready to take on the risk, and have experience or a mentor, you should pass.

. :-)I am in the process of setting up a 501 (c) 3 (paperwork has been filed...just waiting for IRS to do its thing) that will operate sober living homes for those in recovery who need safe and affordable housing.In thinking of how to setup the homes, I am thinking of two separate strategies: either raising enough funds through grants to purchase properties, or leasing existing rental properties.If I can't buy properties, one of the issues with possibly leasing properties is if I decide to lease/rent existing properties, they would need to cash flow for us to sustain the nonprofit and its mission, so there would likely need to be significant rent concessions made from landlord (for example, a 50% concession, ie rents normally for $2500, rented to nonprofit for $1250, so we could then rent each room for $500 a month and possibly cash flow).I'm hopeful that I could find landlords who would be open to an arrangement where:1) A 3% to 5% non-refundable downpayment is made to landlord in exchange for 5 year guaranteed lease/rental agreement2) Nonprofit agrees to pay 50% of all needed repairs (due to occupancy) to property during that time3) In exchange, landlord gets stable occupancy, gets a tax deduction for the amount of rental concession made (would likely be tens of thousands of dollars) and is not on the hook fully for repairs and maintenanceFully open to hearing opinions or suggestions...am I thinking of this in a way that is possible?

Thats a tougher mission in the DMV area, and the returns wouldn't be there in Baltimore for some time.
