Some Things We Can Learn From Donald Trump

As one of America’s five richest real estate moguls, there’s no arguing with Donald Trump’s mastery of the real estate trade. In actual fact, despite a few financial ‘hiccups’ he has one of the most admired track records for real estate investing success.

Look closely at “the Donald’s” strategies and you will find a common thread. This is a principle so blindingly obvious, you will kick yourself if you’ve missed it.

So what is this principle and how can you profit from it?

It’s simply the unchangeable LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

Let’s look at some examples of how property values, driven by demand vs. supply may be affected by different events:-

- Low-cost Airlines: A survey by Savills Research in 2006 found that the average price of a property located within 10 miles of an airport served by a low-cost airline is 39% higher than for properties within the same distance from an airport without a low cost carrier. Rents were also found to be 30% higher.

- Hosting the Olympics: The regeneration effect of hosting the Olympic Games has generally had a positive impact on house prices. Barcelona was the best performing host city with prices rising by 131% versus an 83% increase in Spanish house prices in the five years leading up to the 1992 Olympics.

- EU Accession: When Ireland joined the EEC in 1973, GDP per head was 63% of the EU average. By 2001 this had climbed to 126%. Over the last eight years in what has come to be known as the ‘Dublin effect’, the value of property has climbed by 196%.

- New Airports: In December 2007, the announcement of plans to build an International Airport in the Emirate of Ajman had the effect of increasing property prices by 30% virtually overnight.


Now, back to the Trump factor; some of Donald Trump’s planned future developments include,

1. Trump Ocean Club Panama City, Panama
2. Trump Ocean Resort Baja, Mexico
3. Trump Cap Cana, Dominican Republic
4. Trump International Hotel & Tower Palm Jumeriah, Dubai
5. Trump Tower New Orleans, USA
6. Trump Aberdeen, Scotland

Make a note of these locations, fellow investor, that’s what is called a clue!

Berkshire Property Meet's 1st Speaker by Popular Demand is...

We are very pleased to announce BPMs first speaker. We have listened
to our members and gone for the best!

Our speaker will be GLENN ARMSTRONG.

Who is Glenn?

Glenn Armstrong started buying houses in June 2004. He bought 6 and
then ran out of money...

Faced with a dilemma that most of us have, he would have given up
a long time ago - however Glenn decided to continue on with a new
strategy. He implemented a way to buy lots of properties without ever
running out of money, and has gone on to achieve incredible success.

Since then he has bought OVER 100 properties (no. 100 and no. 101
were purchased on 11th and 12th of January 2007).

During his journey he found that people started asking for his
advice including questions on how to find reliable support such as
solicitors, accountants and mortgage brokers, and just how to find
properties that could be bought at such huge discounts to enable
them to be purchased for no money down, while still generating
positive cashflow.

To date, Glenn has an unrivalled reputation for being the key
property investor who continues to walk the talk, while others
simply talk the talk.

Make a COMMITMENT in your diary for this one, now!
Monday 17th September 2007 - doors open at 7pm.

There are limited spaces, so please arrive prompt at 7pm to secure
your seat. There will be a charge of £10 on the door to cover our
costs for the new venue.

Berkshire Property Meet on Facebook

We hope you're enjoying your weekend and making the most of the Sun
while it lasts!

A question we often get asked is "Can we give out contacts details of
people who attend the BPM?". As many of you know Data Protections
rules will not allow us to pass on e-mail addresses and we take your
privacy very seriously.

However we have come up with a solution ! Have you heard of
Facebook.com? It's simple, Free and very easy to use. We have created
a group called Berkshire Property Meet within Facebook and would
encourage all BPM members to sign up to Facebook if you haven't
already joined.

Facebook.com is a fantastic way of keeping in touch and improving your
network. So, you can also contact any BPM member you want and we
don't have to bend any rules! Now that's what we call simple a
win-win scenario!!

If you're already a member of facebook.com just click on this link to
join the Berkshire Property Meet group:

http://groups.to/berkshirepropertymeet/

We have found this very useful. We look forward to seeing you on
Facebook and at the next BPM on 20th August 2007!

The Berkshire Property Meet News

First of all we must thank all those outstanding people who made it
to the 16th July 2007 BPM. THANK YOU! After a slow start we were
overwhelmed by the number of people that attended.

It's encouraging to hear, from so many of you, how much people are
getting out of this meet. What we observe is all the animated
conversations and smiling faces. People are leaving with new
contacts, ideas and friends.

As stated in our previous e-mails the No.1 request we are getting is
for a speaker. In order to accommodate this we are already looking
for a new venue and talking to a number of speakers, all of whom
will provide beneficial advice helping you move forward in your
business.

The date of the next FREE meeting will be Monday 20th August - same
time, same place. If you have any questions please ask!

Berkshire Property Meet 16th July 2007 - Topics for discussion

Just a quick reminder that the BPM is being held tomorrow night
starting at 7pm as usual.


In direct response to feedback, we are introducing Topics for
Discussion. We have had a number of questions about Redemption
Figures when analysing deals, so the Topics for tomorrow evening are:

"How to find out what the Redemption Figures are on the 1st, 2nd
and subsequent charges on a property"

"How to reduce secured loans - will lenders negotiate?"

Please bring your questions, answers and any creative tips for the
lively discussion that will take place.

Look forward to seeing you there!

questions you would like some help with. Please feel free to e-mail

Thank you all for the great feedback on the BPM. Also thanks for
the overwhelming messages of support and positive responses we have
had. It's good to know people are finding the BPM of benefit.

The number one request was for guest speakers! In order to oblige
we will be looking for a more suitable venue that will accommodate
a speakers needs. We will try and make sure that it lives up to the
benefits of our current location:

- Easily accessible
- FREE parking
- Close to the M4 and M40
- Friendly staff and management
- Liked by all attendees

There have been a few other great suggestions that we are looking
into implementing, all of which will enhance the BPM experience.

We have been to various Networking events, big and small. The most
important thing is to go with an open mind knowing that one brief
conversation with any attendee could be the one idea that elevates
your business to the next level!

easiest thing to do is use this link to register for free tickets
