This will add some substance to the conversation instead of people speaking in "generalities" about a hypothetical situation.Best of luck and let me know if I can help!

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.  

maybe".I use them for investing all the time, but under very special conditions...and within a very tight, inflexible window.The basic conditions is that they are:\1 - Business cards2 - Have 0% interest for at least 6 months (preferably 12)...this establishes that "inflexible window"3 - 0% interest must apply to new purchases AND transfers4 - Must have at least 1/2 of the available credit able to be used in a "cash advance".5 - Must be at least 3 different (preferably 4) cards.Process of use:1 - Use the Cash Advance from the cards to buy property (this is a "cash like substance")2 - Immediately transfer balance from the Cash Advance to one of the other cards thereby eliminating the high interest rate you have on cash advances.3 - Use the remaining balances on the cards to pay for the rehab, etc...

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!
