One of the cute tricks the builders play is to create a charity organization that they fund

This org then provides downpayment assistance for ‘needy’ buyers and helps them obtain financing

Builder gets tax write offs for charitable contribution, goodwill for ‘taking care of’ the needy (yeah, right!) AND gets another house out of their inventory

Prices in California are probably too high for this game to make sense here

Cow_tipping – seen any of this going on in your neck of the woods?
