 Just my thoughts so far, for those who are interested:
 
1. I don't want to participate in "Condo commandos", "divide and conquer", “venting of frustrations”, “personal vendettas”, “revolutions”, and/or “hidden partnerships”, etc.
 
2. I do want to preserve, improve, and increase dollar value of my condo, which is attached to the entire Heritage Circle Condo association, and every single person within it.

3. I will do everything I can, individually and/or communally, to save my condo and to create/maintain serene life-style within it that I’m accustom to. I will always be available to meet with any group of owners, anytime, who have the same goals and intentions.

4. As of now, I do not know what financial condition Heritage (all of us) are in and I do plan to ask Roberto for all financial statements for the past 3 years. Individually. As a silent partner (condo owner) in a business, and every Condo is considered a “non-profit organization” in States eyes, I do have the rite and an obligation to my investment to do so. As a soon to be un-employed Accountant/Auditor with many years of experience working for Federal and private corporations, I’m quite adopt for the task.

5. If/When I do or do not receive formally requested financial statement, I will make my findings public to all those owners who will inquire and wish to participate in further actions.

6. Regardless of my future findings/action/hopes/desires, I will not be able to recommend/implement/enforce any changes without consent/participation of the majority of owners. That is why I’m not concerned who is in our little email-list and knows of our concerns, I plan to create and distribute a News-letter some day, to get every owner involved. I think that is the only hope we have in order to save our Condo.

7. I really do think we are all in grave imminent danger. I really do think that most renters will eventually move out to follow jobs elsewhere. I really do think that a large number of current foreign owners will abandon their mortgages once they lose those rent-checks, leaving all of us with the bills, that might not be properly managed.  I hope to be proven wrong by Roberto, who is currently innocent in my opinion, until proven guilty. His personal income that has been approved by owner’s majority is none of my concern. He is not stealing it, he comes every week to our office and collects it. If he is making anything “on-the-side”, it’s between him and IRS. If he does anything illegal while on our time, it’s between him and DFPD/DBPR. I’m neither. I’m yet to either find, hear or see any illegality done by Roberto.

8. I really do think that Heritage Condos appears as, marketed as and is managed by owners as a ghetto. I do not appreciate/approve/participate-in this kind of environment. It might have become acceptable for some owners over the years, but I am new to this Condo and it is the one I can afford now. I do not have experience in managing condos, but it is not my first. I lived in co-op in Brooklyn for 10 years and in condo in Chicago for 7 years. My sister is a Condo president in her condo. One thing I do know is that majority rules. As I have said before, unless the owners unite and participate in governing our condo, our money and our homes will always be at the mercy of individuals who have their own agendas and priorities. It is human nature, therefore it is natural and should be expected.

Thank you all for your interest in my thoughts.
