IVANKA

My name is Ivanka (yes, really). My dad was a real estate mogul (well, in his own mind he was). While he may not have built skyscrapers, he did manage to create his own little empire—complete with eccentric tenants and a whole lot of ambition. This is our story. It’s not exactly Trump Tower, but it will keep you just as entertained.

Embark on the adventures of a real estate visionary who dared to think big and redefine what it means to build an empire—one room at a time. Meet my father, a self-made magnate who transformed a modest rooming house into a not-so-thriving empire filled with colorful characters and unforgettable stories.

“Location, location, location!” was his rallying cry as he targeted a high-end neighborhood, turning each room into a stage for the most eccentric tenants imaginable. From connoisseurs of cheap beer and bad wine to quirky retirees, each resident added their unique flavor, making every day a new adventure.

Two immigrants—my mom and dad—one rooming house, and a dream. Proof that sometimes reality is far stranger (and funnier) than fiction. Get ready for a hilarious romp through a place where ambition meets absurdity.
