Disappointing he says he is not using it to start a cult. I'd start a cult. Church building first, cult second.

  If you're starting a cult, always build instead of buy!

    Hmmm, if you're starting a cult as a way to tap into tax exemptions, I suspect your accountants and lawyers would have long heated arguments about exactly how to best structure the church building ownership or lease/rental. Is your cult's meeting place a capex or an opex?

      If you want to start a cult to get out of taxes, forget the church - you need a boat.

    Consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser_Mansion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser_Mansion. My great great grandfather lived there till he jumped to his death from Brown's Hotel in London. See Richard Cory.

  If you wanted to start a cult, would you say you wanted to start a cult? "I just want to share my learnings with the good people of Ohio..."

  Nah I think the Lean method would be to start the cult first, prove product-market fit, then get the church once you have around 10 members

    but you get the money before you even have any idea of your actual tenants and beliefs. slide deck -> money -> cult -> bodies -> church
