as a "donation" (translating to the benefit of taking a deduction for 2025).

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Donating money to large (FEMA, Red Cross), local organizations or Go Fund Me pages would be the quickest way.

If you need any help in the area from pictures of home, to items being valued and or my experience how to get rid of them from estate sale to auction to donation.

With us being a nonprofit we work on donations.

If I donated to aids health foundation and they spent the money on rent control instead of aids research or health care, I would be pissed.  

If I donated to the aids health foundation expecting it to go to aids care or research, I would be very disappointed with this use of the money. 

I think I might look into donating it just to get a tax write off as well as stop paying taxes for someone else's land.

If its a volunteer fire company you may be able to donate the house to them for the purpose of training and get a tax deduction .
