@Xiuyuan Wang You might try to connect with those on BP from Detroit.You might want to check out Asian Real Estate Association of AmericaFounded in 2003, the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) is a nonprofit professional trade organization dedicated to promoting sustainable homeownership ...areaa.orgPaul

I'm also a great researcher & am very organized. 

Also, I help organize a once a month local REI meetup, the next one will be Wednesday, December 3rd @ 7pm at Johnny's Irish Pub on Culver Rd.  

Utilize the site and familiarize yourself with all the tools available.I believe someone was organizing a BP meet up in Lakewood in the next few days.

I would follow the only lead that you have - the organization that is paying the taxes.

in my lease there is an area where responsibilities such as pest control, lawn care, irrigation, wood destroying organisms, tree pruning, hurricane shutter installation, pool maintenance etc etc etc are landlord or tenant responsibility.I think for the most parts it is landlord's.

You may want to go back and start compiling your timeline from when you "met" this organization onward, see if they have any licenses, insurance, etc, and if there's any way to get your money back other than selling your house for half price.

Karen I've not had an opportunity to organize and build a development of this sort myself.  

It is well organized but it doesn't work like they say.

If anyone has questions about the organization please do not hesitate to message, call, or email!
