I'd be happy to pay a little UBIT in exchange for actually having some income.

I have had a tenant accept a higher rent in exchange for a lower deposit.

Cool, money exchanged hands and she signed everything over.

Because if you had spent even 5 minutes on the phone with me (or exchanged a single email), you'd know that this deal didn't fit my criteria.

I look forward to exchanging knowledge with you.

But the truth is, on BP, we are mostly exchanging ideas, creating discussions and teaching.

Howdy First time we have ever exchanged info.

Spent a lot of time learning about real estate investing.Started preparing one rental that we are now getting ready to 1031 exchange with.2010 is starting to be an exciting year for us.

Unless there is more to the structure of the deal than you have told us, the charity is working with a property buyer who just happens to be purchasing the relinquished property in someone else's 1031 exchange.The presence or absene of an exchange seems incidental to the deal.I am guessing that the charity is working with a buyer who is using a loan program that does not permit seller assistance with the downpayment, but will allow the downpayment to come from a charity, but has a property under contract with a downpayment concession from the seller.The seller "contributes" the amount of the downpayment to the charity, and the charity funnels the money back to the buyer as a gift at the settlement table.

They are saving $6,000 for every $100,000 of agreed upon price.I'm getting a contract for a specified period of time in exchange of marketing the property and saving the seller thousands of dollars in Realtor commissions.
