Than can either: (A) Buy "A" property, one single family rental (let's pretend all homes are $250k),    and get rents of $2,250mnth.     

The seller has to notify the tenant of the new owner with the contact information ( anyone could come and pretend to the tenants they were the new owner if this was not done).

Their capos pretended like they hear it for the first time and never actually did anything to help.

Show up with a tape measure and a camera, pretend like they are doing something scientific, pontificating unscientific opinions, charging ridiculous fees for said opinions, then going home with no accountability for the disasters that stems from those opinions.

But if force mind to say "ok, let's do this different, let's pretend everything with HOA is 100% correct" and look back trying to find how it all goes together, may learn some new perspectives in it all that can aid going forward.From what shared thus far, i have a feeling that things got adversarial early, and that entrenchment made any positive resolutions very hard.
