George Ross, Andrew James McLean, Donald J. Trump9780471718352, 0471718351

This is the first book on Trump for the serious real estate investor. It explains the basic strategies Trump has used to make his real estate fortune, and how any investor can apply them to deals large and small.In Trump: How To Get Rich and his previous books, as well as the forthcoming Think Like a Billionaire, Trump touches on real estate investment – but these books are far more focused on general business and life success. For instance, Publisher’s Weekly says the following about How to Get Rich: “Trump tells all – about the lessons learned from The Apprentice, his real estate empire, his position as head of the 20,000-member Trump Organization, and his most important role, as a father who has successfully taught his children the value of money and hard work. Ross’s book will focus exclusively on real estate, with nuts-and-bolts guidance that has not characterized any Trump book since Art of the Deal.The book will relate some of the more intricate and interesting transactions done by Donald Trump and other real estate moguls spanning the author’s 50-year career as lawyer for the giants in the industry. It will offer specific and actionable strategies to the mid-level real estate investor, gleaned from Trump’s techniques, to take his/her portfolio to the next level. Covering such topics as identifying potential properties, marketing, financing, management and negotiation, the book will outline how to do it like Trump from start to finish – from the search for investments to closing the deal, and beyond.The book will also be funny, personal, and lively, drawing on stories of Trump’s grandest deals and the culture of his organization.
