They love to get good press by helping out with these things.I would look into those avenues along with charities,churches,and government programs.

Maybe we could start these petitions in church, so we could have devine guidance and be informed by our ministers!

Originally posted by @Tony Johnson:Hello BP, Can anyone give me some tips or something to read on how to "legally" raise private money outside of friends and familySure, join a civic minded group like the Kiwanas, Church, Lions Chamber of Commerce, meet some people and when they ask you what you do, tell them.

I'll be posting in my local church facebook page looking for roommates but seeing I'm fairly new to Austin, I don't personally know anyone looking to rent a room currently.I'll be screening tenants based on income, background check, credit check, etc..

However, I am in Baltimore often visiting family and attending Church.

From there, I'd like to achieve financial independence by the time I'm 35 and hopefully be able to focus on spending time with my family and growing my real estate portfolio.On the side, I'm working towards the CFA designation, I run ultra-marathons (got my first 100-miler in a month 😬), and I'm an altar server at my church.

I'm interested in Youth Ministries, and I am the proud Youth Pastor at Gethsemane Baptist Church.

We make a list of phone numbers for schools, stores, churches, the best baby-sitters, etc.

I can't see this man of the church being too much of a troublemaker!

They are doing Jack Ramsey program and lots of church stuff.
