I didn't win one until I was $100k over asking and agreed to take on all the tenants from a charity that placed them there. 

I would like to start a Charity in my Late Mother's name, so I am thinking I would keep the Trust open for that reason.

Simple Y/NYou're arranging the sale of real estate in expectation of a fee/skim (assuming you're not a charity) - You have a PA RE license?  

I am in the camp of you are running a business and not a charity.

not a charity?

And if they don't well then these investors who bought this stuff simply get what they get.. but the reality is Morris was not doing this as a charity  he was getting paid and since I am in this part of the industry I know what these marketers make and that is 5 to 7k a house per sale.. so no doubt Morris probably ripped a million or two out of these deals..

If you are losing money and you keep her, then you have to be ok with the idea that you are providing a charity service.

We're running a business, not a charity. 

The car company and the cell phone company understand that they are not running a charity. 

They can almost always get help with a charity in the worst case scenario.
