You'll probably get some good ideas here, but I'd suggest talking to a real estate attorney soon and maybe run some of these ideas by them.

Let me know if you need more ideas, I'd be happy to connect! 

I like the idea of a newer 4plex but they just don’t exist in my market.

Keep your momentum going, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to bounce ideas or discuss a deal.

If the idea of doing accounting or finance is not appealing, don't do it.

Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

In any event you can see what the SEC thinks of modernization here:https://www.sec.gov/news/press...I have read of late that small family offices can pool non-accredited investor money to qualify that entity as an accredited investor. 

For example, if you are in a 24% tax bracket and the house is valued at $200,000, your potential tax savings might be around $48,000 (24% of $200,000), but that's a rough estimate and assumes you're itemizing.It's always a good idea to consult a tax professional to ensure you're maximizing your deduction and following all the necessary procedures for your donation.

Just looking for ideas to put this money to its highest and best use.
