How to invest in real estate like DONALD TRUMP

Donald Trump is the world's most famous real estate billionaire. Now, George Ross, Trump's closest advisor for twenty-five years (and co-star of The Apprentice), reveals the core real estate investing strategies that made Trump so successful. More important, Ross shows how the average real estate investor can use the same creative techniques to dramatically boost profits--even on a fixer-upper or a single-family house.

Drawing on his unique insider perspective, Ross explains Trump's strategies for:

• Combining "location" with "innovation"
• Adding "sizzle" and glamour to any building--without wasting money
• Making buyers and tenants eager to pay higher-than-market prices
• Financing deals, marketing real estate, and managing properties
• Plus, tips from Ross on how to apply the same negotiation techniques he uses to close Trump's biggest deals

Trump Strategies for Real Estate presents an in-depth look at the creative thinking that took Trump to the top. Whether you're an experienced real estate investor or a novice, you'll make more money on your investment if you use the proven strategies of a real estate billionaire.
