Despite the shortcomings, the e-mails on the above subject appeared to be quite entertaining. As I see it the members of GOA have two options. 1) Sell the property as soon as possible, with the those having invested taking a hit and thereby not putting a drain on any current profits. 2) Using the property as a location for a trash TV programme on the lines of "I am a Goan, get me out of here". It could be more popular than the forthcoming "Ferreira" family on the BBC's "Eastenders". The public still has an appetite for such programmes .
