I received an invitation in the mail to be a "VIP guest" to hear Donald's story from his daughter Ivanka and 4 self made experts that will discuss wealth creating secrets and strategies. And receive a copy of "TRUMP - THnk LIke a Billionare". Says the conference will talk about real estate investing, slashing capital gains, protecting assets, etc. It is free to attend, but is it worth going? I am interested in buying investment property. Will I be a captive audience for them to pitch me buying something or will I get immediate value?

The seminar is free to attend and even includes lunch.

All depends on your goals, but for FREE, it's definitely worth it. Most of these are usually at least $99, so free is good. Plus you'll be a VIP. If you have an extra ticket let me know.
Meanwhile, you will get some sales pitches, but it's all up to you to decide what things may/may not fit within your investment/financial plans.
The conferences I went to, I was looking for some things in particular (tax advice, etc) and so I found answers to those questions. There hasn't been a conference like this that I didn't pick up at least one or two things.
And by the way, if you keep your eyes/ears open, you'll probably be able to make some new "investment" friends there too who might help you with your investment property needs.
Best of luck!

People forget that Donald Trump inherited his wealth from his successful father (just like Ted Turner, except that Ted is a savvy businessman). Donald's father also loaned his son vast sums of money. Money that he quickly peed away on various failed ventures. 12 years ago, Donald had $900 million in personal debt and corporate debt of nearly $3.5 billion. Not only has Donald filed for bankruptcy numerous times, he is unique in being one of the only businessmen in the world to have lost money while operating a casino. It takes a special talent at failure to lose money while running a gambling joint.
The Donald's track record isn't exactly stellar. If it wasn't for the money from his Dad, where would The Donald be today? I think he'd be a bus driver. Nothing wrong with that. Driving a bus is an honest, productive career, and bus drivers don't lose billions of dollars for their shareholders.
You could go.....At least he would be making money off of you.

You might pick up a useful tip or two, in addition to a book for what, $99? I'm also guessing there will be a hard sell for other items and services from the other people there. Remember it's called Trump Wealth Creation -- that means that Trump is creating the wealth from YOU! I'm pretty sure he doesn't care if you ever make anything from it.

I found this posting elsewhere on the web regarding these Celebrity Conferences. I was skeptical because it is free, and as the old cliche goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
