The Current Real Estate "Crisis" - As Seen By Donald Trump
www.RickStrohm.com
Donald Trump laughs when someone mentions the current real estate "crisis." One man's crisis is another billionaire's long-awaited opportunity.
"I've made a lot of money in times that others have looked at as real estate downturns," Trump says. "This is the time you should be buying and negotiating fantastic deals.
"Let the nervousness of the wishy-washy business people work to your advantage."
Trump portrays himself as the master in the art of the deal, of course. And if you don't believe him, he'll tell you to read one of his books. The latest is titled, with typical Trump bluster, "Think Big and Kick Ass in Business & Life."
When Trump talks real estate, people tend to listen. Whether it's the well-heeled guys who find themselves partnered with him in a celebrity golf tournament, the regular folks who pony up to see him teach his Learning Annex course or the Apprentice fans who turn up at his book signings.
Yet he also readily tells people that business takes a certain amount of "natural ability." That he can make almost everyone better, but he cannot make everyone into a star.
Even as Trump sells, sells, sells, he seems to avoid B.S.ing you. Or maybe he's so good that you just don't notice.
Either way, Trump swears he doesn't sweat the falling real estate market.
"When other people get jumpy or short sighted, you can make a lot of money," Trump said. "I've made a lot of money going against the crowd."

This is what we (Rick & Rick) have been saying along! The current real estate market is not in a "crisis", in fact this is the perfect time to make the "deals". Take a look at the big markets around the country, lets say Las Vegas, as the maket in Vegas falls...guess who is in the market buying up tons of properties & land - you guessed it - Donald Trump. Goes to show you that you still can make a lot of money in this current market...heck its a buyers market!
