And people are accepting of the fact that your a 4-profit and not a charity, that we can't get into something at a loss or net-0. 

But at the end of the day a rental is usually a business… not a charity.  

- You are an investor, NOT a charity or hobbyist!

Only if I could accept that I may be providing charity and repairing the house later.

Hey fellow investors and flippers — curious to hear your take on this.When local charity auctions come up, most retail businesses donate products, and service-based businesses often give away their time or expertise.

I would sit down and decide if you want to run a business or a charity, you generally cannot do both.

To be transparent, we are a for profit business that definitely wants to make money (we don’t pretend to do this for charity)!

Trump also has a history of scamming people (Trump University, his charity, all of the contractors he never paid, everyone who got the short end of the stick during his multiple bankruptcies, claiming $70k tax write off per year on his taxes to do his hair, his company was found guilty of fraud, etc.). 

Often we need to be reminded we’re not running a charity but a business and if we can’t treat our property like a business we either need to sell it or hire someone else to run it.

I have a family interested in the unit with the support of HomeBASE (70%) and a charity org.
