Mon 03:59:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the client paid us
Mon 03:59:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] to pay for hosting
Mon 03:59:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the money didn't go to hosting
Mon 03:59:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we assume the money was misused
Mon 03:59:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so it's time to leave
Mon 03:59:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we left
Mon 03:59:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i took evidnece of what happened
Mon 03:59:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i said,

Mon 03:59:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] she did
Mon 03:59:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], He's still trying to keep this place rented out.
Mon 04:00:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they would try to hide this
Mon 04:00:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But he's not eager to fix anything.
Mon 04:00:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i was shaking my head... this is not OK
Mon 04:00:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so about your building
Mon 04:00:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it's the same thing
Mon 04:00:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm surprised he did the parking lot, partially.
Mon 04:00:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but server bills might be "man with mower"
Mon 04:00:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He had them dig up the parts that crumbled entirely.
Mon 04:00:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Pave that.
Mon 04:00:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] to sell
Mon 04:01:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the buyers come by car
Mon 04:01:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] first impressions
Mon 04:01:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] remember where he came from
Mon 04:01:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] A/C first
Mon 04:01:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] smog, humidity
Mon 04:01:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] A/C ok? SOLD!
Mon 04:01:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] if you come by car and weed grows from within the asphalt..
Mon 04:01:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If he was smart he would have kept walking when he saw this place.
Mon 04:01:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] happened to me before
Mon 04:01:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] when we went to see a home
Mon 04:02:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] very bad first impression
Mon 04:02:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] could barely bother to look inside
Mon 04:02:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], Weeds do grow from the concrete.
Mon 04:02:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even now.
Mon 04:02:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He did not pave the entire lot.
Mon 04:02:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Just part of it that completely crumbled.
Mon 04:02:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] remember that marion indiana outdoor mall/outlet?
Mon 04:02:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah.
Mon 04:02:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] with the parking spaces that look like mad max movie?
Mon 04:02:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Didn't look that way 30 years ago.
Mon 04:03:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] just a gym and dying diner
Mon 04:03:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] who will pay
Mon 04:03:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] ?\
Mon 04:03:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i bet the diner died too
Mon 04:03:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A gym and an Applebee's.
Mon 04:03:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, Applebee's is still there.
Mon 04:03:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Something even moved in where Hill's used to be.
Mon 04:03:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] maybe they sell some gym buffs some stuff
Mon 04:04:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] IsambardPrince: with yourn dad's fingernails in drawers
Mon 04:04:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] (RCA)

Mon 04:05:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That guy's probably dead now.
Mon 04:05:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He retired in the late 90s.
Mon 04:05:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] with his nails by his side
Mon 04:05:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they last longer than flesh
Mon 04:05:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, he left them there.
Mon 04:05:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] how kind
Mon 04:05:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and generous
Mon 04:06:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They had to vacuum the desk drawer to get the nails out.
Mon 04:06:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He just opened the desk drawer and clipped his fingernails, then his toenails.
Mon 04:06:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ All while he ate lunch.
Mon 04:06:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then back to work.
Mon 04:07:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then several decades go by, he retires.
Mon 04:07:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They open the drawer.
Mon 04:07:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Have to have the janitor come by with a vacuum hose.

Mon 04:09:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], I think he realizes he's never going to get to a place where this building is worth money.
Mon 04:09:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's only so much he can rent it for.
Mon 04:09:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Before everyone leaves.

Mon 04:22:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it must be in your contract, if he had you sign one (maybe he doesn't follow that legal step either)
Mon 04:22:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was asleep today and left the door stryker lock (which is removable) in the door.
Mon 04:22:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they can knock

Mon 04:24:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], Yes, I have renter's insurance.
Mon 04:24:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't trust him or the other tenants.
Mon 04:24:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He's as retarded as the people he rents to.
Mon 04:24:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He's about as smart as that fat woman next door or the druggie that busted out the window.
Mon 04:24:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] he needs an operation for improvements
Mon 04:24:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Except he can speak English better.
Mon 04:25:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] con men are smooth speakers
Mon 04:25:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that does not say much

Mon 04:25:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] does not say much, either

Mon 04:26:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] with the money he claims to earn

Mon 04:26:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] hundreds of millions in the bank
Mon 04:26:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and downsizing his estate empire
Mon 04:26:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], He says on his blog that when he was in private employment he used his salary as a "cash cow" to make investments.
Mon 04:26:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and gets his son involved in day to day operatons
Mon 04:26:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Nine out of ten of them failed.
Mon 04:26:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ According to his blog.
Mon 04:26:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] while he the ol man crouches to pray roaches
Mon 04:26:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] (Spray
Mon 04:26:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it "made me wiser".
Mon 04:27:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] apparentyly not
Mon 04:27:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ he said he was "poor" in 2008 so he only bought blighted properties with a lot of city violations
Mon 04:27:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] he learned from a random crank at a coffee place
Mon 04:27:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] btw,
Mon 04:27:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] am i crazy or:
Mon 04:27:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a man rich enough
Mon 04:28:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ he claims they were renovated and sold to "seed" the investment to buy six more properties.
Mon 04:28:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] does NOT go out to copffee shop
Mon 04:28:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] wher ethousands farted on 'his' chair
Mon 04:28:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] he has his own coffee rom
Mon 04:28:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or coffee house
Mon 04:28:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or whatever
Mon 04:28:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] in the gold course
Mon 04:28:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *golf
Mon 04:28:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so there's a red flag for ya!
Mon 04:28:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said he "operationalized" units used as storage by previous landlords.
Mon 04:29:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, the reason the last landlord didn't do that is because he knew he'd also have to dig up the hallway to fix that pipe.
Mon 04:29:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] did he patent it?
Mon 04:29:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] you said it yourself
Mon 04:29:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] there was a GOOD reason it was not converted into a unit
Mon 04:29:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then when he fixed the pipe, he got MAYO.
Mon 04:29:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] maybe some leak or something
Mon 04:29:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The person who did not pay rent totaling $9,000.
Mon 04:29:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so they already concluded
Mon 04:29:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] unfit for tenant
Mon 04:29:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And also had to be evicted for $1800.
Mon 04:29:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but he onl;y checked abooout the A/Cs
Mon 04:30:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], So he converted it, lost about 9 months rent, then another $1800 to get the guy out.
Mon 04:30:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ After fixing the pipe, which cost I don't know how much.
Mon 04:30:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Digging down 5 feet into the subfloor.
Mon 04:30:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ and replacing a length of pipe about 6-7 feet long?
Mon 04:30:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What's that cost?
Mon 04:30:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] 10k?
Mon 04:31:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then he had them pour in quikrete.
Mon 04:31:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then when that dried he put new vinyl on top which looks horrible.
Mon 04:31:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But he's obviously beyond caring.
Mon 04:31:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so he admitted 90% of the time he failed at business
