 I am sorry about the issues. You need to hire an attorney as
if you were put on title, you cannot be removed (“investor ended up taking the
property, transfering title to just him ….”) absent your consent so I have no
idea how you would no longer be a co-owner.  

The right to lien relates to goes to anyone who qualifies to
be file a lien under the statute, such as contractors and superintendents. To
have a lien on the basis of superintendence on the site, your role must be to
see that the labor was properly applied to the material. If you provided labor,
that is lienable. The fact that you were, apparently, at some point a co-owner
does not negate the lien right. Again, the key is whether you can claim a lien
and your role as project manager would need to be reviewed a bit more by an
attorney. If you are a proper party to file a lien, you must do it separately.
You are not related to your contractor’s work, at least under your limited facts.
 

AS to the second question, you could be the GC but your attorney
will want more facts and the contract to determine that.  

Reach out and get a consultation with an attorney soon. Most
of us offer free initial consultation. You may have many more claims than
merely a lien right. Moreover, as to your lien, the lien filing and the process
must be perfect or that lien may be invalid.   

This is loaded with extraneous issues that need to be discussed. But, the short answer is if you provide labor or materials for the improvement of real property, you have the right to lien that property in the event of nonpayment. If you're an owner, you can voluntarily encumber your interest in a property (for instance, a mortgage or similar security interest), so long as there isn't some kind of agreement among any co-owners that you won't, and so long as you're not filing spurious documents simply to jam up the works.

I have no idea what you mean regarding the disagreement with investors/owners and the investor's ability to simply take the property. That needs to be explored in greater detail. I imagine a review of the relevant documents would be required to get a handle on all of the potential issues here. Feel free to call my office to discuss. 7205007855.
