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

I was about 30% conversion the rest could not cut lose with 100 bucks for charity and they wanted my time for free..

Are they mostly charity or faith-based groups that offer housing support or something different? 

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

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. 

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.

I told her in that case I can feel free to change my trust to move all the real estate assets to charity after I die. :-)But to be fair, you should be idealistic in your 20s.

May be harsh at surface level, but its a business not a charity. 3) I only rent to soldiers at Ft.
