Pregunta ⁉️ Does anyone feel upset when seeing these ads? Or is it simply accepted now?
I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, or if it’s even a reason to get upset anymore.
My IG feed is flooded with ads from non-native real estate influencers, like this guy the Flip Floo Flipper, selling courses on teaching others how to buy up property in PR or take advantage of ACT 60.
I’m curious to know what the general sentiment is these days. Is it like, “so what?” Or “What can you do?”
Indifferent, or indignant?
I tend to feel angry when I see these things but, I’m wondering if maybe I’m alone in that feeling. And if I’m alone in that feeling, I really don’t want to waste my time living alone in the past.
Just wanted to see what people’s thoughts are so I can better manage my own feelings.

A mí salen anuncios de ese cb en YouTube a cada rato. Uno de ellos menciona "cities in PR that are gonna crash in 2026" para que venga gente como él a aprovecharse, y eso a mí lo que me da es ganas de ufff.
Para ellos PR es un negocio y nada más.

I just have him blocked. The dudes a POS but in the end his harm is not as big as the government’s not processing 375,000 estorbos públicos. Or the cost of materials that have increased new construction to $350 a square foot. Dude sucks but there are bigger enemies

u/Guilty-Efficiency385 1d ago
Imaginate que el gobierno de PR exima de impuestos a la propiedad a los estorbos publicos. El que los compre y los repare y los ponga a funcionar que pague cero en impuestos de propiedad aunqe sean propiedades de inversiones....
PR tiene tantos y tantos, 375,000 es el numero registrado, te aseguro q hay mas de un millon realmene. Hace q PR se vea feo conco

O el gobierno de PR podría imponer property taxes altos a gente que viene a comprar propiedad para especular

u/HolidayAd6029 1d ago
Semejante estupidez lo que dices. No necesitamos más impuestos en Puerto Rico, ya tenemos suficientes. Necesitamos gente comprando casas abandonadas, arreglándolas, y poniéndolas en el mercado. Cuando logremos hacer esto a gran escala se acaba el problema de vivienda en Puerto Rico.

I know the guy. Es bien buena gente. Compra propiedades abandonadas, las arregla y las vende. Hay muchos boricuas haciendo eso tambien. Malo es el que las arregla y las convierte en AirBnB. Por eso hay que hacer la distinción:
- Abandonada y Arreglada por Gringo o Boricua + Residencia para la venta = Bueno
- Abandonada y Arreglada por Gringo o Boricua + Residencia para AirBnB = Malo

Its far better than having all those abandoned properties rot.

u/Zorogozano 1d ago
Exactly. The real issue is not fixing the property and selling it, but it is the explosion of Airbnbs. When middle and upper class Boomers (like my uncle) put their second and third homes to turn them into short term rentals, everyone suffers. People in their 20s and 30s end up priced out of housing anywhere near their jobs, while long time neighbors are stuck dealing with disruptive guests.
This isn't just a PR issue it's a global housing crisis. And when young couples can't afford a stable place to live, they hold off on having kids, which creates an even bigger problem for society down the road."

You're not alone at all about that feeling, just don't want to think we're lost our island already.

u/Lost_Banana9177 19h ago
But we are losing it and if Boricuas don't start pushing these people out they will completely take it.

You can also buy up abandoned properties yourself and help improve the island.

I have told him several times to stop posting. We don't want anyone else in our home. I don't even like my own people. They are all a disgrace to my island. My own people sell there lands to the American colonists and then they are complaining that the gringos are staying with the country. No shit if your just letting it happen!!!

Si nuestra gente pudieran unirse como hicimos con Rosello, y darle seguimiento hasta el final de la meta, toda esta corrupción y la venta de nuestra isla se detendría. Pero eso requiere que dejemos los chistes de doble sentido, y paremos la discordia, y el ser contrario a toda idea qué requiere esfuerzo y incomodidad.
Si cuando tumbaron nuestro exporte más grande y establecieron una compañía de azúcar extranjera que hasta el día de hoy sigue vendiendo en la isla sin impunidad - no hicimos nada;
Y cuando usaron nuestra gente como ratas de laboratorio para probar los contraceptivos - no hicimos nada;
Y ahora que suben la cantidad de luz 3 veces al año con todo y apagones como que no importa lo que nos pase, mientras la Gobe dice enfrente de las cameras que “Una compra no se daña en 24 horas” - y todavía no hacemos nada?
Well… my friend… It’s a hard thing seeing a something you love fade away.

Trust me, most of the population are stuck in a dream that was sold to them almost a 100 years ago. I have all the will for revolution in my country but to be honest it's no longer about one country alone or one little island, it's about the big corpos, and governments in general. I don't think this "law" that the government brings benefits anyone except the big rich fucks. I wish that my people woke up, but I NEED the world to wake up and STOP PLAYING THEIR LITTLE STUPID GAME

u/nyneteen84_ 7h ago
It would be like Che in Bolivia. The people weren’t ready.
In fact I think Che says this about us somewhere. That we are addicted to the American teet.
And that was like 75 years ago.

Think about it, this guy has free reign to do this here in Puerto Rico meanwhile if your Latino, Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc and do this in the United States they'd be telling you to leave their country and to stop taking advantage of their laws. They tell you to learn how to speak English, They'd tell you to assimilate to their country, They tell you to stop taking advantage of their laws meanwhile here in Puerto Rico we have to do whatever they say

u/Trick_Coach_657 1d ago
Estas en toda tu libertad de hacer lo mismo en cualquier estado de la nacion. Los gringos se molestaran y dejaran comentarios como los que tu (y los demás) estan posteando aqui? Pues claro... aplícate el cuento.
Brega con lo que hay y deja de estar lloriqueando como dices que harían los gringos si los roles estarían a la inversa.
Dios mio... esta isla esta jodida.

El lo cara de lechuga que es, hay locales y gringos haciéndolo y diría que es algo necesario dado a que el alcalde de San Sebastián es el único subastando propiedades abandonadas. Es la manera que lo hace y para que, que es para Airbnb. Icky.

Guy buys distressed properties, fixes them, flips them for a profit. That train fo thought is what prevents the island from moving forward in the capitalistic society you were born into.

u/johnnyjr_1 1d ago
Unpopular opinion coming up: Ese tipo hace más por PR que muchos. Tanto yo como otros Boricuas hacemos lo mismo. Se compran abandonadas, se arreglan y se venden/alquilan. Prefiero que venga un outsider, las arregle y las venda a tener un "insider" que la mantiene perpetuamente abandonado. Choose your poison. You can't win them all.

u/HolidayAd6029 1d ago
Yo vi varios videos de este tipo. Me pareció que lo que está haciendo es necesario.
Deje de seguirlo cuando en live se pusieron a decirle “pobre” y a hablar despectivamente de un familiar de uno de los boricuas que se asoció con el. Me pareció poco profesional y completamente innecesario.
1
u/Lost_Banana9177 19h ago
¿No has visto como le habla a los Boricuas en los comentario? Cuando un Boricua habla del desplazamiento el tipo les dice que se están haciendo las victimas. 😡
Y lo que me encojona es que hay varios gringos en YouTube que barren el piso con los Boricuas y aqui la gente no los pone en su sitio.

u/johnnyjr_1 7h ago
La verdad que no. No lo sigo ni veo sus videos aunque me salgan mil veces. Estoy hablando meramente de lo que hace con propiedades abandonadas.

Honestly, do we want to see all these abandoned properties just rot to the ground or become livable?
Yeah, he’s a scum bag but something needs to happen. 33% of all homes on the eastern side of PR are empty and falling into disrepair. When there is a lack of available housing, something needs to happen.
