OK. So now you're a little more specific. You owned at the Manhattan Club. I know a lot of owners and former owners their share the same frustrating feelings of owning there.

I just can't figure out that, since you paid $30,000, why the resort would not want something of that value back for free if you offered to deed it back to the resort.

The only thing I can think of right now is that you phoned some desk clerk there who has no insight or authority into the matter rather than contacting the resort's Home Owners Association (HOA) who does have the authority to make these calls.

Maybe that's what your attorney did right that you did not.
