How to do it like Trump¿from start to finish
This is the first real estate investing book to reveal the principles and strategies of the world¿s most famous real estate developer¿Donald Trump. Author George Ross is Trump¿s celebrity costar on the hit TV show, The Apprentice, and has been Trump¿s right-hand man and business advisor for 25 years. Ross has advised Trump on all of his most famous real estate deals including Trump Tower on 5th Avenue and the Grand Hyatt on 42nd Street. In this book, Ross explains the core real estate investing and negotiation strategies Trump used to make his fortune, and how any investor can apply these strategies to their own real estate investments. Small investors may not buy land on 5th Avenue, but the same principles Trump used to negotiate the purchase of his Trump Tower site apply to any real estate investor who wants to use Trump-style negotiation principles to buy property for below-market value. The small investor buying a fixer-upper may not have Trump¿s budget for marble and gold-tinted windows, but this book explains how to add "Trump-style glamour" to any fixer-upper¿and charge tenants and buyers a hefty premium they will willingly pay. Other key "Trump Strategies for Real Estate" include:
From the search for the right property to "cashing out" of a property, this book has it all. |

2 July 2008 - This is on par with Rich Dad and the best book I have read about Real Estate. He had practical advise that while not easy to do it was easy to understand. Like Ross says if it is easy to do then there are not a lot of profits in it.

This is one of those books that actually accomplishes what it sets out to do. For anyone who has ever watched Trump's show, you know Mr. Ross as the quiet man who gives spot-on advice (which Trump doesn't always heed--too bad!). Mr. Ross is great not only at story-telling but also at gleaning lessons (life lessons) from his and others' experiences. He shares those in this book without being too preachy. While it's quite clear his background is solidly in NYC, he does a good job in expanding his lessons to other parts of the country. This book is a very good read!

This book is great for somebody looking to find the 'big picture' in real estate, with some very helpful thoughts to guide decisions. Working in real estate, I have already used much of the advice in this book with my real estate clients with great success. Though not all thoughts apply to my area, the book as a whole was a great read.

I've been in real estate for 12 years and this is one of the few books worth buying and keeping in your library. Many of the things I already knew, but it's good to have this as a source of reference. I like the info on negotiation and research (the party that spends the most time/energy on project tends to want to complete the transaction). Trump believes in hiring the best experts available and "value added," which is another way saying adding glitz to his properties. The author is also right on when he states that most people take the path of least resistance. I agreed with 90% of what the author wrote about.

You know, if you want to be the best, you need to learn from the best. George & Donald are the pinnacles of success in the real estate business. George Ross presents how things work with him & Donald in the business world, from his perspective. I highly recommend it. I have far more respect for George now after reading this book.

According to the book, George Ross was very instrumental in Donald Trump's success and more power to him. His book is very entertaining and informative. Having seen him numerous times on the Apprentice it is easy to see his personality come through in his writing. I recommend the book to anyone who wants an enjoyable, enlightening and full-of-ideas read.
