Regarding the cars, could you perhaps donate them to a charitable foundation?  

In my mind, I treat my crowdfund investments as a charitable donation as soon as I make them because most (at least the ones that are equity based) are likely to fail, as most small businesses do, within 5 years after launch according to the SBA.

He talked about forming a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) and buying properties through that.

He makes a charitable donation at Christmas on behalf of the tenants and sends a copy of the thank-you letter to each tenant.

If she has an estate problem, with taxes, an Irrevocable Charitable Remainder Trust might be an option and it can sell the property, other Trust arrangements can also be done, if she really needs a Trust, only a competent attorney can establish that, so you need to see one.Notes can also be assigned through the estate or by agreement in the note as co-beneficiaries.

Your lack of raising the rent for the past years was then, now is now, they more than likely will stay and if they don't you'll find another tenant that will pay market.You can do what you choose but I'd rather charge market rent and give the profits to a charity and take that off on my taxes and know that I'm supporting a charity that I want to participate in.Right now your supporting 2 non charitable, non tax deductible tenants. 

So that 20% as a down payment simply means your not writing a check to sell in a non appreciating market.If you pay cash and BRRR and get value add you can get equity and if you sell you just use that equity that you forced for your sales load..Keep in mind real estate on average turns every 7 to 8 years.. even though 90% of folks going into rentals say they will never sell LOL..were it does work is in a 1031 roll up.. once you go down that road you are in the game until you die.. or your going to have major recapture and or tax pay back.. unless U do a charitable remainder trust which I like a lot for high net worth sellers.

I'm talking about a charitable remainder trust.

I have a piece of land in Thurston County I am thinking of donating since it will help minimize capital gains. I need a charity in Washington state that does not have an extremely high minimum value. The tax exempt or...

So, when I was looking at other options to avoid paying capital gains tax, I stumbled upon CRT (Charitable Remainder Trust).
