Legally, you don't have to do anything, but some owners try to show some goodwill; rent reduction for portion of time they could not occupy the home because of power outages etc... just this week I sent out all of the FEMA phone numbers for help for this very same thing; they can help with rent, food etc...I went thru this very same thing during the three hurricanes of 2004. 

Sounds good, will send you some feedback on a couple reverse 1031 exchange providers that our customers work with. 

Goodwill in the local business community?

Real estate investing is difficult enough already without having to completely rely on the good will of others for your share of the pie.  

It's cheap as heck, just put one together and see how the fasteners work....cheap.I would go to a) lower end antiques stores (or yard sales), and b) high-end thrift stores (not Goodwill, usually charity run stores like Humane Societies and such have really good donated furniture, plates , etc...

Thank you for exemplifying the greed-driven mentality that pervades our society, where profiting off the thirst for knowledge takes precedence over genuine goodwill.

The good will seem expensive for Odesk however worth the 10 bucks an hour.

If they don't pick it up, donate it to good will.

Eventually went to Goodwill for my clothes, ate bologna sandwiches for lunch for years (I don’t/won’t now, lol), cut my own hair (still do, because I don’t have a lot of it anyway), we refinished garage sale furniture and sold it, we shoveled driveways, then got into online sales of dvd/blurays (still do it) weekends and nights sending stuff out.

“As wise old Ben Franklin used to say: If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent’s good will.”
