The Ultimate Win/Win

by Michael Sexton

When you profit in real estate, other people profit too

You've seen it on the evening news and read about it online. Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. is pursuing plans to build a magnificent new hotel casino in Diamondhead, Mississippi. It might be as beautiful as the Trump Marina, pictured to the right.

Where is Diamondhead? It is located on Interstate 10, a little northeast of New Orleans on the Bay of Saint Louis. In other words, Diamondhead sits in the heart of Hurricane Katrina country.

Final plans are still pending, but if the new Trump casino resort is built, it will exert an enormously positive force on the area. Construction contracts will be issued. Hundreds, if not thousands, of vital jobs will be created for the hard-hit people of Mississippi and Louisiana. And tourists will come to the area, cash in hand.

It just goes to prove that when you invest in real estate, you can do more than just put money in your own pocket. You can build needed new housing for families, improve neighborhoods and make life better. You can create jobs. It would be hard to think of another investment that allows you to make such a positive impact in the lives of other people.

That's what our Chairman, Donald J. Trump, is doing in Mississippi. And the good news is, you can do it too, at the same time you start building your own fortune in real estate. You don't have to wait until you can build a casino. You can start small, one property at a time. And the best part is, you can get started now.

Michael Sexton, President of Trump University, recommends The Real Estate Investor Training Program for first-time real estate investors.
