Yes, it is a good idea. The information here is general, and a tax professional can confirm how a property gift affects your specific deduction, income, and filing situation. The receiving charity handles the transaction, but the tax planning is yours.
Yes. Tired rentals are frequently donated. A gift ends the management burden and property tax exposure while converting the asset into a deduction; existing tenancies are reviewed during assessment.

Often yes, though a mortgage adds complexity and can affect the deduction. The charity will review the outstanding loan balance during the assessment stage.
