Technically it is only available to people associated with the military, but back when I opened mine they let you just make a one-time charitable contribution of like $35 to an associated charity and then you qualify.

,doctors,dentists, athletes, business owners, executives,and charitable foundations hire management companies to run their RE investments.You don t have to share profits with a management company.

Definitely not, but we've always believed in putting ourselves in a position where we can help family, charitable organizations and be able to give abundantly, while leaving plenty of margin in our financial lives. 

(Yes, I realize that I'm not showing a charitable Progressive attitude here.

Rather than the Feds regulating everything to death, I'd rather go back to charitable hospitals providing care for those who can't afford it.

IN my mind this all boils down to what kind of assets you have … if your just have vanilla rentals and your not a slumlord what is your risk.. and insurance is far more important than how you hold title.most people have never been in litigation .. so for some reason they just think hey your sued and going to end up in court.. it is extremely rare for anyone to end up in court.. there just is not that amount of liability renting out little pink houses to renters.. but irrevocable trusts I believe offer protection and same with charitable remainder trusts.. but just having LLC no matter where its formed.. the opposing council will sue you personally that I can flat guarantee.. they wont say HEY this guy is smart he has multiple entities so we cant sue him or her..

While charitable donations will reduce your TAXABLE income, they will not reduce your MAGI.401K contributions will definitely reduce your MAGI.

Doesn’t seem too charitable to me.

My understanding is that the owner/seller of a property should put it into a Charitable Remainder Trust before signing a donation or sales contract with me.

For tax foreclosed properties, selling/giving properties to a land bank is almost always a lose/lose scenario for the county...especially in a tight real estate market.Land banks that deal in properties that are investment worthy are simply acting as private investors with charitable and/or public funds.
