Just food for thought, renting is a business relationship, not a charity.

It suggested that if an investor holds vacant land 12 months or more and then donates the property to a charity of choice, the tax break can be up to 30% of their income.  

I think most investors are looking for cash flow and not running a charity.

Just send them packing, this is a money making business for you and your family not a charity business.

You might as well donate it to a charity as it will get better use then buying junk!!!  

Perhaps a 1031C into a commercial property with something like 1031Crowdfunding.com, but quite frankly I'm nervous about the risks of doing an investment like this, not having a lot of experience or knowledge in this area.The other option I've been reading about is a CRUT or Charitable Remainder Unitrust, where you put the real estate in an irrivocable trust, sell the real estate, invest the money, and receive yearly payments from the trust until death, at which point the remains go to a charity of your choice.

@David Adams There are several private hard money lenders that might give you what you need but that money is expensive and they are not a charity so make sure you got your ducks in a row and have your numbers right.

Let them pay over time if necessary, or get a charity to bail them out. 

On a quick read, it sounds like half your family wants to run the property like a charity, and the other half (yours) does not.If were in your position, I would either want to buy the other side out, or get bought out.

I donate pretty heavily to charity, but my business is not a charity.
