These were all free houses donated for non-profit projects and lots were very cheap almost donated, by the time they were done they were as expensive as if they had been stick built.Your house will have some moving damage, cracked sheet rock/plaster, trim and ceiling cracks but nothing major came apart.

Seller "donates" 3% down payment to a non-profit organization.

In my time as an Realtor and Investor I have been very blessed and look to find ways in which I can PAY IT FORWARD.My latest idea that I am trying to put into fruition is using staging furniture that has been donated by my local Habitat Restore, coordinating with a local artist to redo and style, then stage my home with these redesigned pieces of art.It's a win-win-winHabitat gets money from me buying it, the artist gets paid to restore it, then when there is a price tag put on it in my home, boasting the artist and the funds going BACK to habitat should a buyer purchase the property, both the artist and habitat gets paid again.

Its going to be a simple buy and hold.One partner has an extra air conditioner that he is donating, the other is a firefighter who wants to spend time working on an investment.

I have a large shop but when I finish a flip I treat the leftover items in this way.1 return for refund2 donate what can't be returned 3 if it can't be donated, recycling is the answer. if you do any volume and you try to save odd bits, you will go crazy.

You may want to donate your time to local REIA to network with other REIA members.

I am also exploring the idea of creating a foundation or partnering with a local charity to donate X amount of dollars for every house I purchase or assign. 

I would probably donate them to Habitat for Humanity and get a tax writeoff.

I'm actually trying to do the same thing in donating server time to Stanford.

Since you already donate to the community, perhaps you could morph that donation into a social media contest.
