remarques: the man who becomes a billionaire
in dealing with real estate business

1/ dealing, a week in the life
- the experience taught me 3 points:
first: is to listen to your gut, no matter
how good something sounds on paper
second: you are generally better off sticking
with what you know
third: sometimes your best investments are
the ones you do not make

- I want the best whatever it takes

2/ Trump cards, the elements of the deal

>> p. 47 Trump likes to build something
monumental, espc. huge hotels attached to
casinos earning a lot of money,
he does not himself play slot machines, but
he likes owning casinos with slot machines
- Trump Castle = hotel-casino
in Atlantic City (New Jersey)

3/ growing up
>> p. 53 buy by leverage , i.e. convince
the other part that it is on his interest to deal
or generate interest by publicity, mostly
by creating attention in newspapers
>> p. 68 in 3 weeks, his father sold 78 homes
>> p. 78 collecting rent from people
who did not want to pay

while keeping a cold head

the monumental builder for prestige but
to be correct one must say that he was
a little genious in undertaking monumental
constructions, otherwise not of great interest
