It is everyone's fault except yours. 

At move in, I give them shovels, rakes, a sink and toilet plunger and one bag of snow salt a year.In addition they receive an automated text of the 1st reminding them of to pay their rent by the 4th and to let me know if they have any maintenance issues.Most months, I rarely have to do anything except the occasional drive by of the property (or inspection)and get the occasional maintenance text.

It's also got about a foot of snow on the roof so not able to really see that except you can tell it's metal put over shake.  

The asset goes to your heirs and the tax disappears in the estate.So if you compare those three scenarios you'll find that the difference between 1 and 2 is that you basically end up the same place (minus getting to use the deferred tax dollars for income) except that the charitable organization gets the asset at the end. 

I would be extremely careful to not to do business with anybody that could be construed as a "client" of yours as this could end exceptionally bad.  

We had a similar experience on our last campaign except two of the people who received multiple letters sold to us.

I recently made an all cash offer (with the help of HML) no contingencies except Short Sale Contingency, and Well and Septic contingency for a house that was listed at $129,000.

And in many situations my discount is significantly more than 10%, I have purchased real estate/real estate related properties for as much as a 90% discount by paying cash, granted under exceptional circumstances.

Inspection went well, only big thing is the house needed a new roof so we asked for 6k off to compensate for the roof and they excepted.

Now . . the house is 'vacant' except for me - camped out in the living room (bed on floor, small table and lamp) while I complete some upgrades and find a tenant.
