John Gilletti
Hey,
I just wanted to take time to thank a few people with common sense.
You know who you are.
And then there is a guy who is a lot of blah blah blah,
I just can't imagine.......
Must have no life except for just that.
There are lots of people who don't get involved with listening to
the news for various reasons.
There are times when news is factual and because it is graphic
and feeds off of misery, it is damaging, such as when it is so graphic
that you shouldn't let your children watch it.
Sometimes news is completely false or has very little truth to it.
Poor But Happy is an awesome site for people to communicate, but
some of the people who post are obviously obsessed.
I see it in other forums as well.
These posters who have 20,000 posts to the same forum.
Doesn't it make you think?
How could someone invest that much time staring into their
computer wasting precious time.
Time that they could be donating if nothing else to help people that need help.
Time to enjoy nature, time for giving, time to .......
....And then there are the "bashers"
One of my favorite sayings of all time was when Rodney King said:
"can't we all just get along?"

I have no clue what the issue is, or what you're referring to, but it's obviously something you're passionate about.
That said, you're completely inarticulate and I am at a loss to try and decipher what you're talking about.
Carry on.
Cheers,
Terry

Someone said in the PBH thread about him that the guy is a friend of mine.
Well, he is not. I do not even know him.
But I want to repeat that he got hardly bashed without a reason on here.
And it is not a nice thing to suffer.

He was also heavily accused to be a dishonest guy, but asked the author of the accusation why, reasons went unexplained.

Interesting. Nowhere in his passionate defense does he simply say, "The accusations in that article are not true. I'm not renting out homes in foreclosure and lying to my tenants about it."
Nope... just lots of "You must have too much time on your hands," and "You post too much, and just want to bash," and "The news is sometimes sensationalist, sometimes wrong."
All of which is beside the point, even if true.
Interesting thing, human nature. I guess the first lesson is, live with integrity. The second is, keep your conversations on the internet anonymous. The third is, if you're going to lie... don't lie like a little child trying to mince words. Go for it like Slick Willie: "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN."
That's more convincing. At least until the stained dress turns up.

ok wasteland Dave.
I don't deny that not even for a minute. That's my right. My homes are in foreclosure; big deal does that mean I need to put my tenants out on the street? NO.
They all knew in advance of the foreclosure, and most of them have elected to stay. The reason being is that they like me, like my rentals, and know that when there is a problem, my handyman will show up in 24 hours depending on what the problem is.
If you want to know all of the details because you are curious, phone me or email me.
Do you think reporters tell the truth, or dirtbag tenants? Have you been a landlord?
If you have ever been, you wouldn't even have a question. You would see through that story without x-ray glasses.
Everyone who knows me, knows I'm square biz.
Check me out on EBAY- great record there.
Check my out on my local clerk of court and look how many real estate transactions that I have performed.
You will find it dizzying.
(Not you) ... but to others beat the dead horse it doesn't fase me in the least.
Here in Medellin, where I live (unlike many posters) that are arm-chair quarterbacks writing all of this stuff about Colombia, quoting the news etc. Most of the Gringos who live here know me and will vouge for my reputation.
..and just like Husky says"I did Not have sex with that woman", and now he and his wife are running for president again- go figure!!
Gerge jung thank you for your kind words.
If your coming to Medellin maybe you can stay in my "VILLA" that I bought after taking advantage of all of these families.
Maybe you can help me find it, if we find it, I'll give a week stay on me.

Hey newbie (thetruthbetold):
If you REALLY believe there are equity in houses in Florida, I have lots of 2nd mortgages for sale for 20 cents on the dollar.
YOU ARE A MORON! There is no simpler way to put it.
When people buy a house with 100% financing, and have closing costs, even in an UP market there is NO EQUITY. Now, when houses DROP in value, there is not only NO equity, but NEGATIVE equity.
You must have failed math.
When a house that was bought for $150,000 house now goes for $70,000, where is the equity? Do you even know what the word means?
You should get all your money together and buy all the houses for the amount owed, since after all, they all have equity, right?
Does anyone rent because they "like someone"? They rent because they want a place to live, moron.
Please, go on, show more of your ignorance and stupidity.

Wow you Are hateful there's no doubt about that.
I have been coming to Colombia since 2001.
I go back to the states every 45 days to look over my investments that are worth less than half of what they were.
Your hateful words must make you feel better about yourself, and that's good.

PS. (To the deleting mod.)
You thought THAT was out of line? Wait until you've been swindled, stolen from, and screwed... It WILL happen. Few of us escape life without feeling the sharp end of the stick... usually from a con artist sharper and more charming than this bozo.
THEN ponder your judicious use of your censorial powers.

Wastelandline:
Fact: These people rented a house that was not in foreclosure.
Fact: John told them that it would be going into foreclosure. He did not steal their money. He did not screw them over. They had a choice to stay or move. They chose to move and call the newspaper and make a big deal over nothing.
Where was the swindling?
Where was the theft?
How did they get hurt or screwed over?
What part makes him a con artist? For being up-front with them about his situation?
Explain how someone who NOTIFIES his tenants that the house WILL BE GOING into foreclosure is a con artist? That makes NO SENSE to me.

Poor But horny,
Thanks for your kind words.
Everyone that knows me here or there, knows that I am square biz.
My dealings here are with some of the oldest and most respected real estate companies in Medellin.
I must say it DID make for a good News story.
That being said we are all beating a dead horse.

Poorbuthorny,
"Fact: These people rented a house that was not in foreclosure."
Really?
"Fact: John told them that it would be going into foreclosure. He did not steal their money. He did not screw them over. They had a choice to stay or move. They chose to move and call the newspaper and make a big deal over nothing."
Are you sure those are facts?
Tell me... why do you take his word over his tenant's? Is it because he writes repeatedly, "Everyone that knows me here or there, knows that I am square biz?"
Life experience tells me otherwise...
Now, where is the swindling, where is the theft, where is the con artist?
OK. Have you noticed how quiet Mr. Gillettij is about WHAT he does with the rent that he's earning on borrowed assets for which he is not paying his debts? Then... have you noted how outraged he is at the notion that his "bitch" tenant might dare not pay the rent?
See any inconsistency there?
You're the experienced guy who knows all about equity, and has a stack of 2nd mortgages for sale 20 cents on the dollar, no? Have you not figured out that the entire market is impacted by this behavior?
Welcome to another financial crises. Mr. Gilleti would love for you to believe that he - and people like him - way over-leveraged, and now skimming off the top and moving their assets off shore so that when the bank finally comes to collect on its debt, it finds nothing much except a trashed house worth 70% what it loaned - are simple victims in this disaster.
They'll be needing a bailout, of course. And who do you think will pay for their bailout?
"Half the county is in foreclosure, and it's my fault?"
Yes, Mr. Gilleti, it is your fault... not the county's foreclosures, but YOURS.
