Critic reviews

"A great how-to book from an associate of the glitziest and most interesting personality in the real-estate business." ( Bookpage)

Interesting, but not very helpful

The positive of this book is the fascination of hearing all about Trump's deals and how his out-of-the-box thinking gets him great deals and makes him lots of money. The negative is that everything is on such a large scale that it's hard to apply to most small investors.

I think the intention of the book was to use Trump as an example and show how to apply his ideas to the small investor. For me, personally, a lot of those concepts were over my head, but what I did get out of the book was motivation and inspiration. So I would recommend the book more on entertainment value than educational value.

boring . waste of time

This ibook contains no relevant information. The worst audio book I have purchased.. nothing new.

Not very practical

It says it can be for smaller investors but it really isn't. just a bunch of Trump deal case studies.

So so not my first choice

The first half is just examples of what Trump has done in the past but doesn't have much to do with the average investor. It mostly applies to big-time commercial investors but doesn't really get into much detail. The second half has more applicable tips to use in real estate.

very informative

good book with a lot of information. I have listen to it twice. I wish it had a work book with it.

Solid Strategy with a Fascinating Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Trump Strategies for Real Estate to be better than the print version?

The book stresses strategy, but also addresses a lot of negotiating tactics as well. The book's written by George Ross, a long-time business associate and attorney for Donald Trump. It is solid and full of ideas we can put to work in business and especially in real estate investment. The key is always: "how do I add value?" Without an solid business answer to that question, the rest of the strategy rests on sand. But there are lots of other strategic and tactical ideas that the author covers in a systematic and clear manner.

Along the way, you get to know both Donald Trump. I was rather neutral on Trump before I read the book, but I come away with a new found and deep respect for the main's integrity, creativity and entrepreneurship. He's the real deal and it's a pleasure to understand how he thinks about real estate, investments and people.

My #1 Real Estate book

Inside information on many of the deals that Trump and others have made with solid strategy and advice for any level of real estate investor.

Many of the concepts won't be meaningful unless you have experience with real estate investing so it's the #1 book I recommend to my investor friends and a little further [but not far] down the reading list I give to rookies.

Best ideas for the Small Invester

Loved it George Ross gave me ideas and am applying them right now. It's book like this that will help rise from the ghetto to freedom for my family. TIME IS CRITICAL

A book that pleased me,

Finally a book on real estate that give some value in form of actual cases, tips and advices. Yes, there are obvious things that en entrepreneur already know. But for me it worked as reminders. A notepad could be good to have at hand.

Great professional summary

Great insight of the inner working of deals. Must read. A billion dollars worth of game
