For anyone who wants to support a great cause, Jay and some other great BiggerPockets contributors have created a charity called Hero’s Home.

I don't recommend using rentals as a charity.

You now own a business, not a charity.

Well, first you have to decide if you are a business or a charity.

In the spirit of giving, and because you took time time out of your day to respond to my post, I'm going to hit the forums and respond to at least 10 posts and if you let me know a charity you each support I'll make a couple donations.

You can roll money straight from your IRA to a charity.

If they have financial issues regardless of why, medical for example, they will still have problems paying rent.You are operating a business not a charity, always keep that in th eforfront.

Can you find properties priced right where the rent makes a reasonable return for you.I think you also have to ask yourself are you creating a charity or a business?
