I bet there's not a Landlord on here that would donate $5,000 to help her pay rent, even though that's exactly what they will suggest you do.It's OK to charge someone what something is worth.

The more you coddle this tenant, the easier it will be for her to take advantage of you.If you want to be generous with your time and money, I suggest you find a charity that appeals to you and donate there.

I "live and breathe" land assignments, flips, owner-financing, "land swaps", bank reo's, bulk-buyer of donated land (I.e., "Habitat", etc.), "Top-Rated Seller" and a past "Power Seller" of land on eBay, "email-blasts" and more!

I had a side hustle teaching English online to Chinese kids that turned into my main income since, it was making me about $1,500 monthly and was able to get by with also donating plasma for $400ish monthly (which I’m doing as I type).

They test all the donated appliances they get, and give a short warranty (like 15 days) just to make sure an item is not a dud.  

If the house wasn't a part of the equation and the family came to you and said out mom is in a tough situation, we really need $35k would you donate that money?

@Pete Abilla, the easiest conclusion to draw is that the glut of housing inventory in the donating (departing) metros will lead to longer times on market and lower prices (buyer's market) while the receiving (arriving) metros will have shorter times on market and higher prices (seller's market).

If I could donate the property and get the ~$4000 tax write-off without paying the taxes that would be the best

The land was donated to the church in the 60's and they built the house.

I'd keep the remaining $100K for reserves/emergency fund, FUN MONEY, donations, and put the rest in a CD.
