Is Donald Trump’s presidential bid about to force a HUGE REAL ESTATE SELL-OFF in the Big Apple? He’s going to have to come up with some MAJOR MONEY SOMEWHERE. I’m Carole Ellis. I’ll tell you where the Donald’s BIGGEST FUNDRAISING CHECK might come from today, in episode 58. --- So does Donald Trump’s presuumptive nomination to the republican party’s presidential real estate ticket mean that a HUGE real estate sell-off could be coming in New York City? Let’s just say the money’s gotta come from somewhere, and the GOP isn’t coughing up yet… Before we get into why Trump might be forced into selling HIS MEGA-MANSIONS and ultra-high-end apartment and condo developments, however, let’s talk a little bit about how you could start investing, TRUMP-STYLE, as it were, for a much, much smaller original outlay than the Trump Towers require. It turns out that investing in multifamily real estate (specifically, in HUGE apartment buildings) isn’t as complicated as most people think it is. In fact, with a little guidance, it can be DOWNRIGHT SIMPLE. You may have heard me mention my friend Sue Nelson before. Sue is a former art teacher whose FIRST COMMERCIAL DEAL was a 104-unit apartment complex, she now owns more than 2,000 units and has flipped multifamily buildings for six-digit profits COUNTLESS TIMES, and her motto is “If I can do it, ANYONE can!” Oh, and she backs that up in a major way you’ve got to get a look at, by the way. This opportunity is IMPORTANT (look how it’s benefiting Donald Trump to own major multifamily real estate if you doubt me), so you MUST take a few minutes to check out Sue’s free, highly-detailed training at http://www.rei.today/IMPORTANT right now. You’ll be incredibly glad you did. Now, let’s get back to a clear demonstration of what it can mean to own serious square footage in multifamily real estate… So, with Ted Cruz bowing out of the republican race for president, that leaves Donald Trump as the presumptive republican nominee, although as you’re probably aware he’s a little bit less presumptive than some thanks to some wiggling and conniving going on in the background from the “Never Trump” crowd that has a large following in the GOP. But let’s go ahead and face it: You’re probably choosing between Clinton and Trump this fall. HOWEVER, Trump has a serious problem now. One of his main appeals is that he doesn’t take money from SuperPACs, lobbyists, or even his own party! He’s made it very clear he’s self-funding this presidential run and that he’ll answer to NO ONE but the American people (and himself) once he lands in office. However, there’s a bit of a problem. He’s likely to have to self-fund himself to the tune of about a BILLION DOLLARS, the largest amount by far spent by candidates in any presidential campaign yet. By comparison, Mitt Romney spent $100 million LESS in 2012 on his failed bid, and he had GOP support to raise it. So what’s the big deal? You may be wondering. After all, Trump claims to be worth $10 BILLION, so that’s definitely a hefty chunk but surely it’s doable. Nevermind, for the moment, that Forbes says he’s worth more like $3 billion. Even assuming that $10 billion estimate is accurate, it’s unlikely that Trump can just write himself a check for that amount. He’s made no secret of the fact that most of his worth is tied up in real estate, and that could mean one of two things if he ends up needed to self-fund instead of fundraise in order to give Hilary Clinton a run for her money (by the way, she’s already raised $186 million and is backed to the hilt by well-funded political action committees (PACs) – no question about Hilary answering to no one if she takes office, that’s for sure. She’s going to be answering to just about everyone. Okay, back off the soap box and back onto the real estate sale Trump trail. Anyway, so far, Trump has spent about $47 million on his campaign because he’s a publicity MACHINE and gets free PR in the form of free TV and Radio AIRTIME just about everywhere. However, he is going to need some support in the next six months, and campaign analysts predict that he’s going to have to fund it largely by himself because he’s made such a big deal about how wealthy he is. One campaign consultant, who insisted on remaining anonymous, predicted that Trump will end up selling off properties to fund longer-term needs and taking out a massive number of loans for the short-term. “He’s perceived as immensely wealthy,” the guy warned, adding that it will probably be a problem when it comes to fundraising because people will not accept the idea that Trump actually needs their money. So what could Trump borrow against or sell? Well, he’s got about $2.1 billion worth of New York City properties, and about $366 million worth of golf clubs around the world. If he was really in a pinch, Forbes Magazine estimates that he could get $630 million for Trump Tower in New York if he sold fast, and about $113 million for Trump National Golf Club in LA under similar circumstances. What’s Trump got to say about it? “I do love self-funding,” he said recently on MSNBC, but he added, “We do need money for the party.” I’ve got to say, I’m curious. Surely Trump wouldn’t get this far, then let the nomination be essentially wasted because he can’t compete with Hilary’s well-oiled money-printing political machine. But would he really sell off a marquee property like Trump Tower to make his presidency happen? I have to say, if he does I’m going to have a hard time not cheering for him! But if he goes the traditional campaign fundraising route, he loses so much of his independent appeal. My prediction (and we’ll check back on this so keep listening) is that he’ll take out loans on top of loans, assuming he’ll be able to pay them off or leverage them in some meaningful way farther down the road. But that takes us into another issue: his stance on debt. And that’s a topic for another day. In the interim, take a quick gander at our Trump Timeline in the REI Today Vault at www.rei.today/vault.
