Not everyone has Trump’s money or name, but everyone, even you, can use his tactics and strategies to win big in real estate.
From the Back Cover
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.

Great book for real estate investors-- or wanna be's!, Mar 11 2005
By Manager from New Jersey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trump Strategies for Real Estate: Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor (Hardcover)
No one knows Donald Trump better than George Ross, his right hand man for over 20 years. I wasn't sure what I was going to get from this book-- I picked it up because of Donald Trump's track record, and none of his other books really goes into real estate investing specifics. This book was a pleasant suprise with a lot of good investing tips. The best part of the book (and worth the $17 bucks) was the chapter on negotiation-- George Ross tells us how to make a good deal, great by using negotiation as a key tool. I can't wait to put this book to use.

Be The Donald, Aug 25 2005
By Michael Bond - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trump Strategies for Real Estate: Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor (Hardcover)
Donald Trump, multi-billionaire real estate investor is unashamedly big on self promotion. His name is predominate on the book jacket. But that is not inappropriate as he is the focus of the book. His major deals and properties are the center of attention and make the book worth reading.George H. Ross, successful New York City real estate attorney, long-time associate of Trump and apparantly player in the Trump reality show, The Apprentice, is the major contributer to the book. His name is next. Mr. Ross has been in the business a very long time and also lectures on the skill of negotiation.
At the bottom of the page we find the author, Andrew James McLean, who has written several books on real estate investing.
This book is interesting, if simple. The anecdotes about Donald Trump make it worth reading. The details of the Trump Tower, Mar-A-Lago, and the GM Building, for example are very interesting. There is also quite a bit of chest thumping and self-congratulations in this short book, but who can argue with success?
The advice given in this book is very good, but neither new nor Earth-shaking. Anyone who is making it in the real estate world probably already knows this, but it never hurts to have it reenforced. The point that hit me the most was to avoid the tendancy to focus on the property more than the customers. There are tips on negotiation, how to find and treat customers, how to handle difficult people and how to stay out of trouble. This is not a how-to book, but has some excellent pointers.

pleasant surprise, Jun 11 2006
By M. Epstein - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trump Strategies for Real Estate: Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor (Paperback)
Phenomenal investment insight from one of the worlds leading Real Estate gurus. I have been in the business for 10+ years and I could have saved myself a lot of time and aggravation of "cutting my teeth" in the business if I had this book as a resource early on in my career. This is with out a doubt the real world MBA of Real Estate Investment. Mr. Ross does an unbelievable job of relating he and Trumps world class Real Estate Investment empire in a way that is understandable and applicable to any size investor. I can assure yo the tricks and methods he describes in this book are the way it "really" works out there. No classroom can prepare you in the way that this book lays it all on the line. The subtleties existing in the business world and Real Estate dealings in particular make the diffence to your success. Mr. Ross almost divulges too much information by un-locking the Billion dollar secrets that only hard core experience and proven success over many years and Real Estate cycles could foster. If you want to know how to do Real Estate Investment RIGHT...read this book!
