Raising funds to acquire and improve low cost rentals

600 property management, we're a philosophy. We need funds and consultancy.
Our ideas are simple, wouldn't it be nice if people who made mistakes to have second chances? almost all people can live in our properties (excluding violent crimes). This community will -over time- get rid of unpleasant habits (drugs/smoking etc..) by working together on improving the community.
 
For example gardening will be an option, it will also be nice if people can exercise for free. Can kids have a nice playground? why not? Maybe there will be a free or low cost shuttle to help people AVOID BEING FIRED FOR NOT HAVING A CAR!
Residents can pay back by showing environmental awareness and recycling.  In fact I think it would be a good idea to implement a recycling facility on or near the location.
At one point; we believe we should by on 100% renewable energy sources (solar/wind) at all locations, with 0% dependency on public network.

Random thoughts on electric (and other) cars.

Autonomous cars, electric cars, and Apple (not necessarily in any logical order)
Mankind, have started dreaming of self-driving cars, maybe even before the invention of the car itself, maybe because back then, people who could afford a private vehicle (where you have horses at the front, driver in the middle, and the VIP cabin in the back); they never thought of driving as an aristocratic activity.
The early ideas were something very technologically-advanced back then (very primitive now), like implementing some sort of metal conductors that will follow signals from wires along the road, so the car will drive in that lane like a robot (see General Motors concept car here).

Technology, marketing and history (I think)

Ranting and raving about “some subject”…
(image source: here Porsche 959 -left- and Ferrari F40 -right- in a drag race)
You can talk for a million years about how apple twisted their situation, from a miserable computer manufacturer into an innovative company that inspires millions around the world with its brilliant ideas and elegant designs, but no, I am not talking about that already-known example, because you already know it.

Market incentives



That's was how I answered a question about "the effects of market incentives", it was a course about social and ethical responsibilities in my MBA program.
I do completely agree with the statement: “profit is the reason for businesses to exist” and the only way to explain why is with examples.
The most powerful stakeholders who influence the business decision making are those who finance it; shareholders, and their ultimate goal from investing money in business is to generate return on their investment, if there’s no satisfactory return, the decision makers in the company will face the possible threat of shareholders withdrawing their investments.
