Because it will allow me to donate $150,000 per year to charity, $50,000 towards new investments (or flexibility), and I can live a very comfortable life with a budget of $100,000.

Sounds AmazingI was building buildings with a charity worldwide since I was 15My brother worked with tons of local contractorsMy uncle had an extensive real estate careerWill follow your journey and post blogs if I canwould love to see millions of teenagers building houses

I think it's very hard to mix charity and business, although I share the empathy you feel towards tenants.

@Engelo Rumora I know a local charity that would love to take them without credit to the donor.

If you do it the other way around, you run a charity.

I wonder if there are any local organizations (Catholic Charities, Barret House, etc...) that would be interested in securing the property?   

The main house came vacant and a charity wanted to rent it for a good cause.

And a decade later, I had built nearly a dozen organizations in arguably the worst economy of near 100 years, employed dozens upon dozens, created financial security for my family, funded IDK how much charity actions (it was needed in those years) and all of it because of 1 acorn: "I REFUSE to participate in a down economy". 

Same with a celebrity like Jay you donate $100 to the charity for the access.
