Nurse Turned Real Estate Investor Nets Large Gain on Commercial Properties with Trump University Guidance

New York, New York (PRWEB) February 7, 2008 -- After 28 years in the medical profession, Sheila Smith launched a successful real estate investing career with the help of Trump University. From her home on Oauhu, Hawaii, Smith negotiated an investment property purchase in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex that immediately netted her a 50-thousand dollar increase.

Smith made the decision to become self-employed as a real estate investor when her nursing position was downsized. She enrolled in Trump University's Real Estate Investor Training Program (http://www.trumpuniversity.com/realestate/index.cfm) which provided her with the education, skills and additional real estate coaching necessary to pursue her dream.

"I was ready, willing and able to take the steps necessary to achieve my long-time dream of being my own boss," Smith said. "There were times in the real estate training program that I felt stumped but I'd simply work through it with my advising coach and keep going."

"Within 4 months of enrolling in Trump University Shelia had the confidence and knowledge to navigate the intricacies of an investment property purchase in another state," said Josef Katz (http://explore.twitter.com/directmaestro), Vice President of Marketing at Trump University. "Trump University's Real Estate Investor Training Program provided the systemic, possibility-driven methods that Smith used to discover, create and harvest real estate value in the first commercial property she purchased in Texas."

Since completing her Trump University studies, Smith has continued her successful business ventures by landing the listing on nearly a half-million dollar island property. Additionally, she is currently evaluating a commercial property for personal purchase. If the tenant-occupied warehouse proves to be a strong acquisition for her portfolio, Smith may invite up to two partners to invest with her.

Smith's future business plans include commercial property and community rehab projects. "I look at old abandoned buildings, empty lots, and think, 'What can I do with that property?' 'What can I turn that into?' The Real Estate Investor Training Program has transformed my way of thinking about everyday life and events," said Smith.
