Before and After Purchase in 2007 and Before Receivership​

Major Improvements​

My family invested $16 million and 17 years into restoring the California Oaks Golf Course, only to face sabotage, discrimination, and systemic abuse by a corrupt HOA. Despite fulfilling our obligations and improving the property, the HOA weaponized a temporary, non-monetary Performance Trust Deed (PTD) to force foreclosure and take everything we’ve built.

The PTD was never meant to be a financial instrument—it was a temporary, non-transferable, and non-assignable agreement tied to the HOA’s promise to clear the Agul Settlement. However, just before the invalid Agul Settlement was set to expire, the HOA spent $3,000 to purchase the PTD and used it to threaten us with foreclosure, even though we had clearly notified them that the PTD was non-transferable and non-assignable.

To make matters worse, the HOA—a nonprofit organization—set up a separate LLC with the intent to profit from the golf course, violating its nonprofit status and manipulating the system for financial gain. Residents are now suing the HOA for fraud, exposing its illegal actions and unethical behavior.

When the court forced the golf course into receivership, the business owed nothing. Despite this, the court took over all of our assets, including our bank accounts, business operations, equipment, and licenses. This unjust action stripped us of everything we had built and handed control to a receiver recommended by the HOA—not the original court-appointed receiver, Larry Taylor, who had refused the job in 2020, calling the HOA’s demands unsustainable and unreasonable.

The HOA has used homeowners' monthly dues, the Homeowner Equity Account (emergency fund), and attorney fees awarded by the court to cover the loss of receivers. These funds, which should have been used for the benefit of the community, were instead diverted to sustain the golf course’s operations under the HOA-recommended receiver. For over 5 years, this receiver has dominated control of the golf course, running it into a negative balance while allowing the property to deteriorate completely. It is unlawful and unjust for the court to permit this mismanagement, which has caused irreparable harm to the golf course and the community.

Our lawyer of over a decade retired, calling our case the most unjust he’s ever seen.

This is not just about us—it’s about fighting systemic abuse and ensuring fairness for all homeowners. Please sign this petition to help us stop the foreclosure, hold the HOA accountable, and push for reform to protect others from similar injustices."
