That doesn't fool anybody and nobody is going to think you're Donald Trump, just because you have a business name like that.Speaking of the the Donald, i ran into somebody who had a name like Trump Real Estate Investments LLC, who had no connection to Donald Trump or anybody else with the Trump name.

A 2 bedroom cost me about $ 600. 00   I ran everything but a friend who is an electrician pulled the permit and checked the work 

Where I ran into this was in Oregon I had a 15 lot development that I tied up and took through the mapping stage..

I thought it was luck that I ran into my, now, mentors.
