OfflineIt is our plan that when we actually begin to some positive cashflow.
The plan is to work with both homeless centers and abuse shelters and put a family in a home every year that will cost them practically nothing. Maybe land contract with no interest at $50 to $100 a month for X years depending on property. (only like 1 or 3 just enough for them to give them their respect that they paid for it)
Anything you do in your community promotes Goodwill this offers free marketing and publicity on top of you walkaway feeling good because you helped someone

I think this is asolutely terrific and I definately think I will try to do something like this as well. Just like in the "Secret", if you do positive things, positivity will ultimately come back your way. I really believe in this so when I'm in a position to do something like this, I definately will and encourage others to follow suit.
Take care everyone!

In any free or low-cost home deal like that, I would suggest you pre-qualify the residents to make sure they will take care of the place. It's like the "for-profit bathrooms are much nicer than public bathrooms" scenario. If someone gets something for nothing, they do not know the value of it and can tear it up quickly. Then, you have a home you own that you have to repair.
I think this is a good idea from a marketing standpoint, but you probably want to get to know the people moving in first and check up on them every couple of months to see how the house is holding up. You might also write in your agreement that any damages incurred during their stay will have to be paid for by the resident. Again, if they have no money, it may be hard to do even that if damage occurs.
Thanks,
