So I stepped in we formed a JV and I bought them all so that he/we could resell.. cost him some money as of course I am not running a charity.. but it kept him in business once he got on the DRE radar. :) I suspect in SC my type of services will now become common place.

Aloha,Ask yourselves, are you running a business, or a charity?

- How can I maximize the good (Do I give money to a charity?

And being a landlord is business.. just like when everyone gets on her and says they are not running a charity they are running a business.. well there you go protect your business.. cant have it both ways.land lording no different.. as a property owner or landlord its incumbent on that owner to plan for how they are going to maneuver through tough times. 

Bottom line- This is a business, not a charity. 

But at the same time not running a charity.

I was never in the Military as you probably recall though I put together a charity with a few other BP members called Aheroshome.org and we gave away a fully rehabbed home in Memphis that Chris Clothier did all the work on and we know the quality of his rehabs etc.

My plan is to will my money to a charity in such a way that the principal will survive and the charity will receive a large portion of the annual interest on it to use as funding.

Decide if you are a charity or a business.

This is my business, not running a charity.
