  • Make a Good Deal
    10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Make a Good Deal Finding the right location and lining up good lenders are some of the easier aspects to buying real estate. What’s tricky is negotiating a good deal. Patience is a virtue in the pursuit of getting what you want. But research, due diligence, planning, and flexibility are just as important. 1 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 2 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 3 hen it comes right down to it, the best advice for real estate Winvestors is to practice patience. Though there are many instances when it is necessary to act quickly, patience is a virtue even in situa- tions where time is of the essence. As one case in point, right after the dust cleared from Equity Office Properties’ initial public offering in 1997, the real estate investment trust’s chairman, Sam Zell, began planning a major expansion. Caught in his crosshairs was another real estate investment trust (REIT), Cornerstone Properties, which he wanted to own. Zell knew that although Cornerstone had managed to quickly grow its portfolio of properties, the New York–based REIT was smaller and would have trouble gaining access to the capital mar- kets. It took three years, but Zell finally snared his prey, buying the company for $4.6 billion. The key to this deal was persuading a Dutch pension fund, which owned about 30 percent of Cornerstone, to sell. Although Zell clearly coveted the company’s 15 million square feet of office space, much of which was located in the same cities where Equity Office Properties already had a presence, he took his time with the pension fund.

  • DONALD TRUMP REFLECTS on HIS BEGINNINGS, VENTURES, and PLANS for the FUTURE Donald Trump Chairman and President the Trump Organ
    DONALD TRUMP REFLECTS ON HIS BEGINNINGS, VENTURES, AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Donald Trump Chairman and President The Trump Organization December 15, 2014 Excerpts from Mr. Trump's Remarks Are you considering running for President? I am considering it very strongly. How did you get started in business, buying a hotel, with almost no money? Well, it was owned by the Penn Central Railroad and it was run by some very good people. Actually, it's very interesting, because he happens to be a very good man. It was Victor Palmieri and Company. And one of the people is John Koskinen. Does anyone know John Koskinen? He's the head of the IRS. And he's a very good man. And while I'm a strong conservative and a strong Republican, he's a friend of mine. And he did a great job running Victor Palmieri. And I made deals with John and the people at Victor Palmieri and took options to the building. And after I took options to the Commodore, I then went to the city. Because the city was really in deep trouble. I was about 28 years old, and the city was really in trouble. And I said look, you're going to have to give me tax abatement. Otherwise this was never going to happen. Then I went to Hyatt. I said you guys put up all the money and I'll try and get the approvals. And I got all the approvals. And Hyatt, Jay Pritzker and the Pritzker family, they put up the money.
