DWIGHT SCHAR’S BELLA COLLINA HOMES or CONDOS – ZERO SALES in OCTOBER
**This article presents one opinion and set of facts, there are other to consider**
UPDATE: We have learned that Dwight Schar, who controls Bella Collina, has been accused of “extortion” and “gangster” behavior by his business partner Dan Snyder.
Don Juravin investigated the official Florida Property Appraiser and found no home or condo sales for the month of October in Bella Collina.
Zero condo sales were also found for Siena at Bella Collina. Don Juravin joined the Orlando Sentinel newspaper in viewing the Siena at Bella Collina condos building as an “awful” or “ugly” building.
Bella Collina in Florida is owned, financed and/or controlled by Dwight Schar. He used to be a billionaire but started losing his fortune at the time he hired Paul Simonson and partnered with the Richard Arrighi.
Whether you believe in jinxes or bad luck, it’s a fact of life that Bella Collina, after 17 years of tremendous sales efforts, is still a ghost town with an estimated less than ten percent real family occupancy who live there by choice year-round. Out of about 900 lots an estimated 800 lots are still empty occupied with weed, broken or dead trees, turkeys and snakes. These wild animals often find themselves on the lawn and near the houses of the few residents.
While Dwight Schar’s management in Bella Collina had advertised a very short drive time to and from Orlando, Don Juravin, a resident, measured several drive times of about 40 and even a long 60 minutes.
Don Juravin reveals that there are normally only two, often older or senior, guards who last only a very short period before they quit Bella Collina. These older “guards” are expected to watch over 900 lots. From my personal experience Bella Collina is not safe and for many other reasons, is not safe for families and not for kids.
Dwight Schar’s placement of Paul Simonson as a manager made the community even less desirable, with residents complaining of intimidation and harassment in court and on TV.

Bella Collina is a ghost town and it seems to me like a bad real estate investment
I agree with you after read this article
I forgot to mention that I found a site with more information about this Bella Collina community in Florida

Well, a resident of Bella Collina has provided the data so it look credible
This sounds really bad.
We need to stay cautious before dealing with frauds like him.
I really hope that the criminals would get some sense in them and stop harassing people and playing with their money.
Wow, Bella Collina looks in danger as it’s in the hands of Dwight Schar now.
Looks like Bella Collina’s residents are going to face a very hard time now. May their fates get saved.
This is so sad and devastating to hear. Really, life can be so unpredictable and can take turns in a matter of seconds.
Bella Collina is helpless and Dwight Schar doesn’t seem too care!
Don’t invest in Bella Collina. You will find how they scam people by searching it in Google!
Bella Collina is hopeless. Unless someone takes action to this but I don’t think it will happen anytime soon

I don’t understand why we have to reach this kind of situation. I mean, these things could have been prevented.
This is so frustrating. Imagine a good deal like this shrinking down spiral. Ugh, we need a run down!
Bella Collina is in bad condition.
We need to save people from being scammed. I heard that Bella Collina’s worth keeps on dropping. We need to inform everyone to be careful of what they try as investment!
Dwight Schar simply do not care about Bella Collina. I don’t know what is wrong with this guy but over the time, I realize we don’t matter to him and so are our money.
This real estate investment has sunk down its very core. I feel bad for the owners because they probably feel left out by now. To those who wants to invest, try many things and consult experts because this kind of scam is not worth it!
Dwight Schar only cares about making money. He doesn’t know how to care for owners. I really hope this Bella Collina incident will be a simple reminder for people that they should review first before investing.
Bella Collina is a worse investment, even though the house looks like glamor but you will have a guilty when you invest in them
It is truly a nice and useful piece of info. I am glad that you shared this useful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
Bella Collina really bad investment, they advertisements on YouTube are fake. I feel bad for them who invest in Bella Collina.
Dwight Schar not cares about Bella Collina and the people who invest their money on Bella Collina
Such a shame…Always search good before you invest somewhere!
When someone only cares about profit, don’t expect you will receive something with quality and care. Always do research when you want to buy something, don’t just fall for it, the advertisements are not what you will see in the real life. Not everything that shines is gold! Be careful…
Wow! Really? Can you imagine throwing thousands of dollars like that? For what? Make sure you research before you go for something big like this!
The situation in Bella Collina is getting worse as years go by. It means it has really bad management.
