</span>Tax-defaulted properties in Oakland can be
purchased for taxes due, which can be less than $30K in
some cases. Basically any property that is more than 5
years behind on property tax can be petitioned for
purchase by a 501c3. It would not go to auction.</div>

However you could own a property

If needed it could be rented out or

<div>Prior to
meeting with the

would be good to
prepare a
"purpose
statement" that
describes the
activities of
SudoRoom that
qualify for
non-profit

other
hackerspaces
have acquired
501c3 status.
Here is an
example:</div>

qualify as a

also a number of

and so on.</div>

<div>Once 501c3
