They were told, by those wanting to sell, that if they did not go along with the deal, they would end up having to pay the capital gains tax. They were also mislead to think the individual contracts sent to them were legal. They were not and were contrary to the bylaws of the co-op. Hillwood's bylaws stipulate that the co-op can only be sold whole, after the membership votes to sell. <br /><br />Pat H., Member since 1950Pat H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5290386897588765199.post-47123023264018304702012-07-19T15:05:37.068-04:002012-07-19T15:05:37.068-04:00117 members out of 156 voted YES for this sale in ...117 members out of 156 voted YES for this sale in february, 2012 per the established by-laws. 18 voted no. Two engineering studies from independent companies revealed saving the Hillwood neglected infrastructure would cost around $8 million. Hillwood, as the rightful owners, chose this sale. Many residents are underwater in their mortgages. It is interesting that these points were not mentioned. I recommend speaking to Hillwood's elected Board of Directors. Ms. Yothers stated at she would support any sale if she was granted $500,000 for her unit. Its not sentimental, it's money and her price was not high enough. I recommend getting the fact. That Hillwood website was never sanctioned my the community itself. The residents of Hillwood rose up and 117, per our vote, do NOT support this woman.
