Goodness Mr Chapel :-) even though we're not on the same side of the fence here politically, I would have definitely taken you for a much "wiser man".
Most entrepreneurs understand the basic concept of "using someone else's money". First off when you undertake an endeavor such as the projects Mr Trump has/is doing/done, you have some "minor details" like paying your team that is putting together and building "the project", that would be asinine to tie up your own finances with. Some people sell shares in their company's (Mr Trump's Company's are all privately owned) and borrow to the hilt, some people just borrow (that would be Mr Trump) It is the secret of the rich and powerful, just in case you didn't know.
I own rental properties, I would never go in and lay down my money (yes there is a certain percentage one must put down to make it more challenging to walk away, that is a wise move on the lender's part). Personally, I want all owner financing (no bank) extended out as long as possible (preferably 10 yrs) low interest 5%, usually interest only payments, makes for a great net on someone else's dime, and in the meantime, they are making a guaranteed income over x amount of years, its a win win especially for seniors who are living on a more or less fixed income.
So obviously in many if not all scenarios of business, it is the savvy thing to do.
Rethink what you wrote it doesn't show clarity in the intelligent gentleman I thought you were.
