U n singer who is running for president of Haiti has delayed payment of over $ 1 million in loans and lost three properties in South Florida in foreclosure in just over a year, according to public records.
Among the houses that Michel Martelly `` lost''Sweet Micky is a five bedrooms and 6,000 square feet in Royal Palm Beach that Jackson shared with his wife and four children until he returned to Haiti in 2007.
Records show that he and his wife Sophia bought the new two-story home in Wellington View Dr. in the summer of 2005 by $ 910,000, with two loans, one of $ 637.000, according to Palm Beach County records. On November 2008 Martelly stopped making monthly payments of $ 3.251 for a mortgage, records show.
The bank filed a lawsuit Martelly and the trustee referred to in the records did not respond, and a judge ordered the ejecuciónhipotecaria.
The house was sold in liquidation last month and is now on sale at $ 500,000.
The house was one of three properties acquired Martelly - including two in Broward County - the banks seized by default.
These demands are attached to the liens of homeowners associations and a hospital in Broward that sued the candidate for not paying a bill.
The issue of financial problems Martelly probably pursue the campaign for the presidency of Haiti, where it has support among the young.
Anonymous bloggers are circulating the news of his land dealings and asking `` why Michel Martelly president hopes to Haiti when facing serious financial problems in America?''
`` The Haitian voters know little about Martelly and track record in management of institutions, resources and people - not to mention a country - given the lack of elected political or political experience,''said Robert Maguire, a professor of Trinity University and a veteran observer of Haitian affairs.
`` The next president of Haiti will be an instrumental force, not only in guiding the country after the earthquake, but to a future that responds to key issues of poverty alleviation and economic growth, and managing relations with international community, in essence, supports the future of Haiti.
`` If history Martelly in resource management is flawed, Haitian voters should be aware and must respond.'' he said the university professor.
The campaign spokesman, Damian Merlo, said the candidate was a victim of the economic downturn in the U.S. and failed investments not personally managed. He denied that the singer had ever lived in one of the houses, although in 2007 The Miami Herald visited twice at home Martelly unfurnished in Royal Palm Beach, which included a recording studio.
`` I do not think that is related to its ability to manage investments or being a successful businessman,''said Merlo. `` Every business that does business hit out well. He is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Haiti and hopes to use those skills as president of Haiti.''
Martelly moved to South Florida in the 80 and tried his luck in construction. Eventually became a kompa music star and had a regular show on Ocean Drive in the 90's. In 2007 he announced his retirement from the stage, and then just stopped paying the property.
Martelly houses bought as investments, which were affected when the housing market collapsed, "said Merlo.
Asked whether Martelly had left the great debt because he had more than worth the houses, Merlo said, `` He was always able to pay.''
Merlo said that investments were handled by Natacha Magloire, Martelly adviser, promoter of events and real estate agent license.
That's a weak defense for someone who is running for president, said Shari Olefson, an expert on foreclosures.
`` If your treasurer steals money when I'm president, will his defense that he did not know because he was the treasurer who stole? That's not leadership thing, "said Olefson. `` Obviously no qualms of not fulfilling promises to the banks. If it takes three times to a promise, what assurance is there to fulfill his campaign promises? It seems a person who saw easy money and took a chance.''
