One member recommended to me "Trump Style Negotiations" by George Ross.

Sure I’m biased, but I think many would agree that when it comes to taxes and saving you money, industry specialization ought to trump geographic proximity.

If Trump doesn't get elected, I will need to change my Trump Rentals LLC name

You see, when I first started this deal I was SO confident that I would quickly become the next Donald Trump of the trailer world I dropped out of college.

Take it from a guy whose been "Rich Dadded"; "Trumped"; "Real Estate Allianced"; etc. save your money for a deal!

I remember Donald Trump being a guest on talk show and someone stood up and asked "what separates you from other real estate investors like Carlton Sheets."

@Bill Gulley I bet Barbara Corcoran or Donald Trump can't even answer 30 of those questions so how is it that I ABSOLUTELY need to?

My first stop for any advice or question about real estate is always BiggerPockets.Read books about real estate, finance, and business (here are some of my favorites):The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing by Josh Dorkin & Brandon Turner (just what it says it is and it's free)The ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy (good for learning about analysis and multi-family properties)Trump Strategies for Real Estate Investing by George Ross (negotiating and strategic relationship building)What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know about Cash Flow by Frank Gallinelli (great for analysis)Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki (investor mindset)A more interactive step, after starting your research of course, is to drive or walk in the area you want to invest in (your niche, which the Ultimate Beginner's Guide can help you define).  

Researching deals *properly* and thoroughly takes time, and doing it for properties where the chance of a comission is 0% - well, that's just foolish, unless the investor pulling the strings has some coin, and two properties *doesn't* make you a Trump.

here are a few authors to start with Conti and Finkle , William Bronchick, Ron Legrand, John beck, Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Sam Zell, j Paul Getty ,Warren Buffet, Libraries are free!
