Ready for more? Pick up Trump Strategies for Real Estate: Billionaire
Lessons for the Small Investor.
Written by George H. Ross, best known
as one of Donald Trump's sidekicks on "The Apprentice," this book will
help you move into the bigger leagues of real estate investing.
Ross gives
some tips that seem to come right from the popular television show—Be
Distinctive: Add Sizzle to Your Property and Understand Your Buyer's
Lifestyle, for example—but he also throws in a tremendous number of
funny and fascinating stories culled from years in the business.
A lawyer
by training and practice, Ross has watched and shared Trump's real estate
magic for more than 25 years.
Now, with Trump's blessing, he shares the
secrets he's learned with all of us. Trump Strategies for Real Estate is a
kick of a book because it offers insight into Trump as well as into the
true nature of real estate investing.
This is definitely a primer for
anyone who wants to add sizzle to his or her personal style. It's also a
great how-to book from an associate of the glitziest and most interesting
personality in the real estate business.
(BookPage, April 2005)
George Ross, Donald Trump's sidekick on "The Apprentice" (and his
longtime real-estate lawyer), offers up a mini-biography of the Donald's
best "gets," detailing the negotiations behind Trump World Tower at United
Nations, Mar-a-Lago, Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and other illustrious
acquisitions. But even average Joes can take Trump's strategies and
apply them to their own real-estate investments, says Ross.
Like Trump,
Ross' suggestions are bold: For example, be willing to overpay for a prime
location (it will bring in affluent tenants), don't let anyone else
negotiate for you (Trump always negotiates face-to-face), and always try
to add that distinctive Trump "sizzle" (like expensive touches in the
lobby of your building). The behind-the-scenes gossip is even better
than Ross' advice. For instance, when Trump bought Mar-a-Largo, he
purchased all the antique furniture in the estate. Trump promptly sold all
the furniture, made more money than he paid for the estate, and then
replicated each piece of the original furnishings for the club.
Geared toward the ambitious investor, "Trump Strategies" is an inspiring
read for anyone hoping to be the next Donald.
