Donald Trump built his wealth through estate investments and development. He inherited a portion of his father&#8217;s real estate business, which he then expanded through strategic property deals, hotel developments, and branding.&nbsp;
Trump also ventured into entertainment, including his popular show The Apprentice and his new social media app Truth Social, which is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/01/36662910/trump-linked-spac-digital-world-acquisition-corp-dwac-continues-surge-after-iowa-win">trying to go public</a> through a SPAC merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DWAC#NASDAQ">DWAC</a>).
Investing in real estate is not as easy as it once was, especially with rates at elevated levels. However, investors can explore alternative routes to enter the real estate market, including investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) or participating in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/alternative-investments/real-estate">real estate crowdfunding</a>.
So, how can you invest like Donald Trump? Well, his portfolio is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/01/36535479/donald-trumps-real-estate-portfolio-is-highly-concentrated-in-these-two-states">highly concentrated in two states</a> – New York and Florida.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Invest in New York</h2>
An easy way to invest in New York City is with Empire State Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESRT#NYSE">ESRT</a>). It's a NYC-focused REIT that owns and operates a portfolio of office, retail, and multifamily assets, including the world-famous Empire State Building, One Grand Central Place, and 1400 Broadway. As of September 30, 2023, its portfolio consists of approximately 8.6 million rentable square feet of office space, 0.7 million rentable square feet of retail space, and 727 residential units.
Empire State also offers investors the opportunity to generate income. Its <a href="https://investors.esrtreit.com/stock-information/dividend-history/default.aspx">dividend has varied</a> since its 2013 initial public offering, but it currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.035 per share, equating to $0.14 per share annually, giving it a yield of about 1.4% today. While its yield is not eye-popping, it could surely grow this dividend over time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Invest in Florida</h2>
A great way to invest in Florida is with Invitation Homes (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INVH#NYSE">INVH</a>). Invitation Homes has approximately 80,000 homes for lease across 16 markets in the U.S., making it one of the largest homeowners in the country. In the <a href="https://s28.q4cdn.com/264003623/files/doc_presentation/2023/11/investor-presentation_november-2023_vfinal.pdf">third quarter of 2023</a>, its Florida markets – Orlando, Tampa, and South Florida – represented 30% of its total revenue.
Invitation Homes is also a fantastic dividend stock. It currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share, equating to $1.12 per share annually, which gives it a yield of about 3.3% today. It has also raised its annual dividend every year since its initial public offering in 2017, making it both a high-yield and dividend-growth stock.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Another way to invest like Donald Trump</h2>
You can also get started in real estate like Donald Trump with as little as $100 by using a real estate crowdfunding platform, like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dara-khosrowshahi-backed-startup-lets-you-become-a-landlord-with-100">Bezos and Khosrowshahi-backed Arrived Homes</a> or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate">Marcus and Millichap-backed EquityMultiple</a>.

Before Donald Trump was the 45th president of the United States, he was best known for his real estate investing chops.&nbsp;
While Trump has real estate properties worldwide, he does most of his business in New York City. Well-known projects in and around the city include Trump Tower, 1 Central Park West, Trump Park Avenue, Trump World Tower, Trump Palace, Trump Plaza and Trump Tower City Center.
With so many years of investing and developing in the city, it's easy to assume that Trump is one of the largest property owners in the Big Apple.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">But You May Be Surprised</h2>
Trump may be one of the biggest names in New York real estate, but he's far from the largest property owner. Many others top him.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The City Of New York</h3>
The City of New York is the largest property owner in the city — and it's not even close. With 362.1 million square feet in its name, the city owns 1.5 times more than the top 10 private companies combined.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vornado Realty Trust</h3>
Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNO#NYSE">VNO</a>) checks in at second place with 29.7 million square feet. One Penn Plaza and 220 Central Park South are two of its best-known projects.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SL Green Realty&nbsp;</h3>
With 28.7 million square feet to its name, SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLG#NYSE">SLG</a>) isn't far behind Vornado Realty Trust.&nbsp; One Vanderbilt, which opened in 2020, is just one of its many notable projects.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tishman Speyer</h3>
Tishman Speyer owns 20.5 million square feet of real estate in New York City. This includes recent projects such as the downtown Brooklyn Macy's and Rockefeller Center. Those are some big names.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Blackstone Group</h3>
Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) owns 20.1 million square feet of real estate in New York City, including the Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village.&nbsp;
Rounding out the top 10 are Related Cos., Columbia University, Brookfield Property Partners, RXR Realty and New York University.&nbsp;
While these companies are the largest property owners in New York City, many others continue to make moves. For example, Empire State Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESRT#NYSE">ESRT</a>) — owner of the Empire State Building — owns approximately 10 million square feet and is growing.&nbsp;
Trump isn't the largest property owner in New York City — he's far from it.&nbsp;

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have had a rough time this year, as higher interest rates and fears of a recession have weighed upon the share prices of the stocks. Analysts have been adjusting earnings estimates lower for some time.
But REITs are reporting third-quarter earnings this week, and several are proving the consensus estimates wrong with better funds from operations (FFO) and revenue than expected. Take a look at three REITs that recently beat the Street estimates with improving numbers.
Empire State Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESRT#NYSE">ESRT</a>) is a New York City-based diversified REIT that owns and operates a portfolio of office, retail and multifamily properties in the New York metro area. Empire State Realty owns the Empire State Building, one of the world's most famous buildings. As of Sept. 30, Empire's portfolio included 8.6 million rentable square feet of office space, 700,000 rentable square feet of retail space and 727 residential units in three multifamily properties.
On Oct. 25, Empire State Realty Trust delivered its third-quarter operating results. FFO of $0.25 per share was above the consensus estimate of $0.23 and 19.05% above FFO of $0.21 per share in the third quarter of 2022. Rental revenue of $151.46 million was 2.14% higher than revenue of $148.29 million in the third quarter of 2022. Total revenue of $191.53 million beat the estimates of $185.39 million and was 4.3% higher than revenue of $183.29 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Empire State also updated its full-year 2023 FFO guidance range to $0.85-$0.87 per share. The consensus is for $0.86.
On Oct. 2, Empire State announced it acquired two properties in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, for an aggregate purchase price of $26.4 million.
Empire State Realty Trust jumped 8% following the earnings report.

KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KREF#NYSE">KREF</a>) is a New York City-based mortgage REIT (mREIT) that provides customized and structured collateralized loans to commercial real estate projects. Its portfolio of 71 loans across the U.S. is worth $7.87 billion. Of its loan portfolio, 55% is multifamily and industrial properties and the average loan amount is $124 million.
On Oct. 23, KKR Real Estate Finance Trust reported its third-quarter operating results. Mortgage REITs use earnings per share (EPS) rather than FFO in operating results. Non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) EPS of $0.25 beat the estimates by $0.14. Revenue of $50.1 million beat the estimates of $42.9 million, although it was down 2.1% year-over-year.
After the earnings report came out, both Raymond James and JMP Securities maintained Outperform ratings on KKR Real Estate, with Raymond James analyst Stephen Lewis lowering the price target from $15 to $14.50 and JMP analyst Steven Delaney lowering the price target from $14 to $13. Based on the $13 price, the potential appreciation is 23.6% from its most recent closing price of $10.51.&nbsp;&nbsp;
LTC Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTC#NYSE">LTC</a>) is a Westlake, California-based healthcare REIT that owns and leases 208 healthcare properties, comprising 50% senior housing and 50% skilled nursing facilities. LTC Properties' revenue is derived from triple-net leases, mortgages and mezzanine loans from its 29 operators across 27 states.
On Oct. 26, LTC Properties delivered its third-quarter operating results. FFO of $0.65 per share was slightly above the consensus estimate of $0.64 but $0.05 above FFO of $0.60 per share in the third quarter of 2022. Revenue of $49.3 million was ahead of estimates of $47.98 million and 13.3% higher than revenue of $43.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. LTC also reported that although expenses were slightly higher year over year, it had reduced its expenses by 24.5% from the second quarter of 2023.
Analysts have covered LTC Properties extensively in recent weeks. On Oct. 3, Wedbush Securities analyst Richard Anderson initiated coverage on LTC Properties with an Outperform rating and announced a $36 price target. On Sept. 28, Berenberg Capital Markets analyst Connor Siversky initiated coverage on LTC Properties with a Buy rating and a $36 price target.
