Donald Trump built his wealth in real estate. He inherited a portion of his father's real estate business, which he then expanded through strategic property deals, hotel developments, and branding.
Trump also ventured into entertainment, including his popular show The Apprentice and his new social media app Truth Social, which recently went public via SPAC merger and now trades as Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. DJT.
Investing in real estate is not as easy as it once was, especially with interest 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 real estate crowdfunding.
So, how can you invest like Donald Trump? Well, his portfolio is highly concentrated in two states – New York and Florida. Let’s focus on New York, which is where he began.
