THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE OF 2005?
What Donald Trump has to say about the latest businessopportunities found in Real Estate Investing.
By Phyllis N. Schwartz

Have you ever wanted to become a millionaire?
If so and, if you live in the United States, there is now avery REAL chance for you to enjoy the same opportunitiesas Donald Trump.
You dont need to invest in real estate to be wealthy. But, byand large it is the easiest, most leveraged way to build real,sustainable wealth. With mortgage rates at an all time low andtax laws favoring real estate holdings, now is an ideal time toprofit from the greatest real estate gold rush in history.
Marriage, job changes, divorce, new families, death -- theaverage American moves every five to six years. And with thatconstant stream of movement across the United States, morethan 12 million homes are bought and sold every year. Many ofthese will be great deals that you, yourself, could be profitingfrom.
The very same principles that make Donald Trump a fortunewith New York City skyscrapers will work for the averageinvestor, no matter what size the property.
So precisely what can the small real estate investor learn from a billionaire wheeler- dealer like Donald Trump? According to George Ross, Executive Vice President and Senior Counsel for the Trump Organization (and, of course, Apprentice co-star), one of the cornerstones of Trumps philosophy is Improve any location.
And thats just what Trump did in his very first real estate deal on a foreclosure of a 1,200 unit apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio. Without a penny invested, Donald and his father, Fred, were able to turn the apartment complex around by doing some remodeling and taking a tough stance on rent collection.
In the single most valuable lesson in Donald Trumps real estate career, he learned how the government would assist buyers in purchasing property with little or no financial backing and how to get such aid. His passion for real estate grew from there and he went on to create the strategies and systems that turned his business into an empire.
Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. Thats how I get my kicks.
In New York City, the Trump signature is now synonymous withthe renowned Trump Tower, The Trump International Hotel &Tower, The Trump Park Avenue and the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street. He also owns golf courses in 4 states, and current projects include the building of the biggest development ever approved by the NYC Planning Commission .
Ranked #228 on Fortune Magazines list of the worlds billionaires, Trump stated: Real estate is at the core of almost every business, and its certainly at the core of most peoples wealth. In order to build your wealth and improve your business smarts, you need to know about real estate.
The most obvious problem that confronts many would-be investorsis lack of know-how and/or financial resources. Common sensewould dictate that wanting to make money in real estate is simply not enough. Knowing how to get it is the real key to success. Like any other profitable business, it takes a proven business system.
In Trump: The Art Of The Deal, The Donald gives his own assessment: If you take care of the downside, the upside willtake care of itself. In other words, if you have a contingencyplan for everything that can go wrong, you cant help but succeed.
So how does the average Joe or Jane actually succeed in real estate?
Because you cant know it all, no matter how smart, educated or experienced, there is no way to acquire all the wisdom you need to make your business flourish. Its precisely why 95% of franchises succeed and only 25-35% of independent businesses fail. Wanting to make money in real estate is simply not enough.
Just as Donald Trump had starting out, you need a great mentorwith a proven track record to lead the way and support yourefforts also a proven business system that allows you to invest in all types of real estate without ever having to tie up all your own cash. It is wise to begin your journey using the research, experience and wisdom of those who have been there before you.
The beauty of a franchise is that it provides a proven businessmodel with years of experience behind it. As far afield as realestate investing may be from starting a McDonalds, the principle is the same. If you can find a real estate investment teaching program that eliminates much of the trial and error and allows you to get a quick start with a proven system, youve just found your own golden arches.
True success is bigger than any one person, no matter how well educated or experienced that person may be. There is no reasonto settle for anything less. Once again, to quote the king of real estate: If youre going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big. Sound advice to anyone who wants to become a millionaire.
