As others have said it is very important what you call yourselves, particularly what you call yourselves on any official document. There is a long history of developers, particularly of condominiums, scamming purchasers. They sell things that never get built. And there are no give backs. It was an investment not a purchase. For buyers protection, some states have rigid laws that prevent a developer from telling you you are a “homeowner" when the “home" doesn’t exist. As long as it “might” exist, it is still a plan. The money is at risk. Legal requirements make no distinctions between a "cooperative group of equals who know and trust each other" and a fly-by-night super sales person making dubious promises and taking cash. So read your state laws. Don’t be afraid to read legislation. Before you sell or sign anything you need a lawyer to confirm that you’ve read it right and are protected from all the ills of having property. But paying $700 an hour for telling you things you can learn yourself makes no sense. Check out Nolo Press and other legal guides for the normal person as well as your state website where all the laws will be posted. They are public documents. Real story: Nolo Press was started by two legal aid lawyers who were helping low-income families in the San Francisco Bay area in the late 1960s. Charles (Ed) Sherman and Ralph (Jake) Warner had to turn away working people who didn't qualify for free legal aid but couldn’t afford lawyers. Millions of Americans who earned less than $5 an hour had to pay $80 per hour for the most routine legal information, or go without. There were almost no sources of free or low-cost legal information—no do-it-yourself books or software, , no Internet, and no court-based, self-help programs. In 1971, they began writing consumer law guides like “do your own divorce” and “how to form your own corporation.” No one would publish them — “Self-help law? You must be nuts!” So they started their own incredibly successful press. It is now part of a conglomerate and different in tone but is still a comprehensive guide to understanding everyday law. Nolo Law was one of the pioneers of the popular law revolution. Today it would be called “citizen law” like "citizen science.” Sharon ——— Sharon Villines Affordable means 30% of your income, not 80% of someone else’s http://affordablecohousing.com
