Honestly, the best I've got is try to find a charity to help with moving expenses and walk away from the house/mortgage.

I'm not a charity and not going to write a check that isn't deserved.   

But, since I don't need the $, if I ever did this for a fee I'd find a charity and donate all of the proceeds to it.  

Being a landlord is a business, not a charity, and even charities operate with positive cash flow or they fold.

You need to sit down and go through your numbers to determine if you are actually operating a business or a charity.

Someone running a charity opposed to a business. 

Decide if you are a charity or a business.

Then I drove to the airport for a charity meeting. 32 miles deducted for charity.

If it is free and clear, you look at at an Installment Sale.You want to stress to the seller the advantage of a private first mortgage over being a landlord.IRS Linkshttp://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc701.htmlhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-wd/0931001.pdfhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p537.pdfhttp://www.irs.gov/publications/p523/ar02.htmlWhat I do:Offer more than comps for sales priceStructure the note payment so I can get a good cash flow.Everything is negotiable.The payment can survive the death of the owner-seller in a trust for a charity or family members upon death.I use the term "annuity payment"."

I'm sure that the gals and guys at BP are nice people, but they're not running a charity.
