The last place I stayed I booked for the board of our charity to meet.

My number 1 priority in life is to help people so any suggestions for good charities is greatly appreciated!

You're probably not trying to run a charity nor a counseling service.

My husband is an apartment manager so he knows all about landlording, and we hope to be on the other end of it someday (actually owning the building and/or property management company).I'm from southern California, on the cusp of Los Angeles and Orange counties, so I'm looking to network and build wealth in both these areas.My short-term goals are to wholesale while my long-term goal is to create enough passive income to not have to worry about working, and have more time to focusing on family, charity, and other endeavors.

There is charity and there is good business sense. the two are not compatible.I'll also caveat this post by saying I'm not a landlord, but based one what I've heard and read, this is what most if not every landlord on here will tell you.

Listen....just ask me to cut the 100 trillion dollar check and I will.I'll just consider it charity :mrgreen: I wish........I freaked out when my bank account had it's first 4zeros in it, I thought I was going to pass out.I wonder if there is a way I can quietly slip in oh I dunno.....9 extra zeros in my account?

I would consider becoming a billionaire or at least owning several more businesses... might go back to Europe/UK (I've already travelled lots), might take more vacations.. probably do a lot more creative stuff like put out music and make a difference.. then hide out somewhere, get married and raise a family. lol. and stay in closer touch with friends and relatives all over the world but I do that anyways, I might do more of it. and I already give to charities.. and do what I want most of the time.

I would suggest that it should be done by the local governments only who will turn (usually) to business and churches and other charities to assist and it will be truly a complete community effort which will more than likely actually benefit all.

But give little of their money to charities.

Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed - Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA.
