The media outlets aren’t in it to invest in an expensive appraisal to determine the truth. They already have a number in mind and will spend as little as possible to “validate” it. They still need to sell more advertising (and subscriptions) than their cost of appraising his assets and equity for their own bottom line to be positive.
No, purchasing “a property” will not have negative cash flow for years and years. Buying “properties” (and recapitalizing them) over and over as a business expands certainly can.
Where is Trump’s “cash flow” published as being negative for a decade? The tax advantages are recorded as net losses on books and tax returns, but the actual cash flow can be positive when adding back the tax benefits that were created by investing in RE.
We shouldn’t keep hijacking a thread about Trump’s tax returns being taken public by the Dems. His net worth, whether on personal financial disclosures or accounting as booked or for tax calculations, assessments for municipal taxing authorities, created for shock value by publications, or whatever, is a totally separate discussion. Net worth doesn’t go on individual’s tax returns.
