@Jennifer T.  Thank you for the advice! This is definitely not something I would want to jump into anytime soon, I know I still have so much to learn this was more of a idea I'd like to have in the back of my head for awhile. Sounds like I need to find myself an attorney friend for the future though!

I am a REI newbie and have grand ideas for my future empire (I know I am years away from something substantial) But I am interested in a FUTURE side project that probably has a lot of problems. A family member of mine is a convicted felon (served her time and is clean) and has a really hard time finding somewhere to live. She is considering trying to start a property management company that allows felons to rent if they can show they have been clean for a year/other requirements.

Eventually I think I would like to be able to help and own some properties her company could manage. I realize business with family members can be...rough...  Would setting up a non profit be a direction to go? Does anyone know of any government grants that could help with this? Is this a crazy idea all together? 

Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
