@Donald M.  

I recently finished Trump Style Negotiation, by George Ross.

Thanks, Cameron, a voice of reason in a sea of confusion.I did meet with an attorney to get a legal opinion and though he too has reservations of how the board went about doing things the Declaration trumps all and gives free reign to do as they please so long as they don't (technically) break the law.

Perhaps a customized contract is drafted, or an addendum is added trumping that language?)

The above definition would also describe Donald Trump's candidacy.

FYI, in my area, state law trumps governing docs.

Donald Bren, the countries largest developer,  and living here in Orange County was flying in a helicopter over all of his properties.

I firmly believe that we all have something unique and valuable to bring to the table, and as a team, we will be stronger and more successful than if we tried to go at it alone.People always chuckle when I say this, but my ultimate goal is to dethrone Donald Trump as the so called king of real estate.

not a bad idea, josh, but there are other options. i believe the proceeds from refinancing are non taxable. i would refinance it for the largest amount i can get out of it, and then sell it. real estate investors such as donald trump and ross perot do it all the time. this gives you the cash you need upfront for the next deal, and no taxes. of course then you could rent it out and have the tenant make your payments so you have no out of pocket costs from then on, and simply move on to the next deal.

Why not ask Donald Trump?
