I did some volunteer work many decades ago to move a historic building and it is really not as easy as it may seem. 

That said, I do volunteer work with local community organizations teaching classes on "Money Management Matters", "Housing Search - The Initial Inquiry and Interview", and "How to Establish and Maintain Good Landlord-Tenant Relationships."

An example I give for a better approach is more like the FCC and their system of testing for HAM Radio Operators, they take a test proctored by certified volunteers under a club setting, different tests for beginner to advanced holders and there is never continuing education requirements and the license is good for 10 years as I recall.

One of my sons is volunteering at the ECHO farm project.

I do extensive volunteer work with homeless people and I could see a program like this working, but only with extreme flexibility on the part of those implementing such a program.

What I originally hoped to find was a willing mentor who would trade their knowledge for my time in volunteering or birddoging.

There are a few discussions on renting on HOATalk.com forum, a forum for board members and volunteers of HOA's.

i'm sitting in iraq, which i volunteered for, waiting to go home and see my 6 month old son for the first time.

This way it is a simple chart that you can look at to get an idea of what cheaper substitutes are out there and available.I personally don't have enough experience in different housing types to do this, but if anybody with lots of experience wants to volunteer then please, I know I would benefit from something like this.

he hasnt volunteered any info as to why my payments are current but not his, and he says hes taking care of it in two days, over four months of payments :(.I think still talking to the lender is the best idea, if hes been lying so far nothing is keeping him from telling me the truth later.Justin
