But any seasoned investor will understand that you are wholesaling, and that you are not doing it for charity. ;-)

You won't make money on this deal, but it does help out a local charity.

Charity work, teaching, etc.2.

didnt think so,,,dont be the local charity!!!!

I am saying it is a case by case basis.A mistake I made as a landlord is thinking tenants look at rent the same way an owner does.For instance:A tenant paying 800 month to month we were going to raise to 820.The tenant said they can't afford it and it's true because we have looked at pay stubs etc. and they usually have to get charity for full amount along with what they pay(it is an inherited tenant).They said they wanted to move to cheaper place at 750 a month.All the tenant thought about is costs DAY to DAY and not the fact that the 750 place does not include water,sewer,trash and they would have to put down a deposit and pay moving costs.When they factor in all of that they will pay much more than 800 a month in cost they are currently paying.The tenant ended up staying and we worked it out but it was my mistake to think the tenant understood soft cost and analyzing the true cost involved.

Once you KNOW the stuff is abandoned, throw out the junk and take the stuff of value to a charity like goodwill.

If the door doesn't need replacement, and they are just charging you totally unfairly, contact any one of many tenant protection organizations (most likely a charity of some sort).

Next thing I know I'm on the phone with a pro-bono charity lawyer saying I had to rent to her and if I didn't, she'd sue for descrimination.

It shouldn't be my problem to pay for their choice.Low income children get free food and free clothing through the school system and charities.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the newbs through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly BP's keeper and the finder of uninformed newbs.
