No one is going to do anything if people do not stick up for themselves.. you can also get a lawyer I suspect a few harshly written letters to Morris ( forget Oceanpointe) I suspect they will be insolvent.. but Morris I suspect has the wherewhithal to make this right.One person got on BP and did one U tube and posted it here and Morris made a deal with him to take it down and then they would REALLY go renovate like they should of in the first place or give the guy his money back.. in a stunning admission the guy gave MOrris a pass and kept the property.. the reality Is these properties are not as advertised..
