sounds like a convenient cop-out to me. i'm all for people experimenting like this, especially when it benefits the community. as far as tracking hours, most volunteer organizations already do this. if you're sending them volunteers i'm sure they'd be happy to send you accounting of hours volunteered.

Not just for my family, but even my community, if I can achieve so much. 

Talk to a local community banker.

Each night, the villages provide more than 300 people a tiny house structure that locks, access to restrooms and showers, case management, a kitchen and a managed community," the city explains on its website

Thanks for all the inspiration that this community has given us over the years we wanted to share our story as a way of giving back. 

Be sure to plug into your local BP community through meet-ups and investment groups.

I was hoping the community could provide some guidance on what the process typically entails when contributing capital and any steps they've taken to protect their investment.

I think investors overpaid...some bought from seminars local realtors would take to California to sell brand new golf course community homes or old apartments in excellent school areas “renovated” into condos and sold for more than the single family 3-2-2s down the street.

You'll find that there are a lot of folks willing to share their experiences and their expertise (including the veteran community).

So BP community, I come to you looking for guidance on my journey.
