“DO, I spent the better part of 20 years designing, building and managing office buildings for a major financial corporation.

My projects were in large cities across the country.

My hat is off to Trump because it takes a lot of smarts to develop real estate and bring a project on-line, on time and under budget, and to do it under very challenging circumstances.”

I spent over 20 years arranging the construction loans for these kinds of projects. Anyone who succeeds at this for 30+ years is one talented individual.

Thanks,sjb.

We could self finance. But we were directly answerable to the Board of Directors and our projects were audited by internal auditors every year. We had to account for every dollar. Largest project I had was $80 million.

If the audit was bad, that was a career killer.

I appreciate the input from you two.

It’s good for FReepers to be able to hear from people who have had experience in this area.
