@@admiller67 It's also a fact that banks don't use Assessor's property values when reviewing loans. "I am as dumb as the judge" isn't the winning argument you think it is.
They should volunteer to pay back taxes with interest on the real value of marge largo then if they dont like the figures the DA used to stick it to this fraudster
@@mgers75 The "real value" is for the seller to determine but may not be what he gets for it during a sell. The city assesses the tax liability which is beyond the property owner's control. There are no backed taxes because he paid what the city billed him for. Even so, if the city miscalculated the taxes, that is on them in Florida, and they can't charge him for back taxes on that. They can correct their mistake for future tax liability.
Trump bought MAL in 1985 for 5 million dollars. Florida has a max cap of 3% on assessments per year. If you played that max out over that time period, it would come to approximately 25 million dollars for property TAX PURPOSES. It has nothing to do with the true value, or even a private appraisal you would use to describe an asset for personal/business purposes. The State of Florida CANNOT exceed 3% per year, which means it could NEVER capture actual value. Assessment value for tax purposes are completely different then actual Market value.
Lol exactly!!. Plus some places just do a drive by and estimate based on the outside. My mom's house was valued at 3x it's appraisal value because the outside was so beautiful but the inside was under construction. She invited them in and they changed it. We all know that if you want to pay less taxes you make the outside look worse than the inside. 😉
Right, because realtors don't use the $18 million dollar TAX ASSESSMENT from over 10 years ago, they use the current market value. Which is not what the court reported was in the documentation. They pulled that number off of his records. They didn't just make it up.
@@hopefulbutworried an evaluation of what? Not market value but tax liability. You ever buy a car? Bet 1000 cash you got a loan for more than it was worth.
Banks don't just hand out huge loans for a property without sending an independent person to appraise it for them. It is absolutely stupid to think trump just writes down whatever number he wants and the banks just run with it.
100%! Banks lend on appraised value only, which for this home was likely several appraisal reports. Assessor’s also value the home for taxation purposes, and they don’t go on the owner’s estimate either. They should make an example out of that judge. The dude looks like “Doc” from Back to the Future. You know he’s nuts.
Yes but that's not what this is about. The 18 million wasn't invented, Trump had the property appraised in 2011 for 18 million and in the years since has paid property taxes on the development at a value of 18 million to 28 million. So the Judge looked at the discrepancy between the value in Florida, 18 million and the loan value 450 million and said the legal value is the one he paid taxes on so 18 million. That is not stupid at all, its a consequence of seeking hilariously low values for taxes and normal values for loans
@Zaviex The COUNTY assigned a property tax value of 18 million. They do this to all properties. The person owning it doesn't ask or get a say in the assessed tax value. What the value of the square footage/location AND what it earns him by being a club is how it's MARKET VALUE is assessed. It's a commercial property. It brings in REVENUE.
@@Zaviex Yeah, you didn't read anything I said, if he got a loan, someone comes out to appraise it themselves, and they determine the loan size on that appraisal. County assessors do their own appraisal to determine property taxes, also not trump again lol
@@Zaviex I can only assume you don’t own real estate, since everyone who does knows the county or township assesses value and bases the real estate tax on that; usually through mass appraisals and not individual homes. An owner has zero to do with value estimates of their own property for any purpose. If that were the case, everyone would value high for a loan and low for taxes. And let’s not forget about home owners insurance. They value the home too based on cost to rebuild. To repeat, what anyone thinks their house is worth is valuable only in their own mind.
The thing is, the bank would have done their own appraisal during the verification process. For loans of that amount, they would have a team working on it. The fact that Trump got the loan means he passed the bank's own verification process.
Exactly. They know he’s inflating or deflating to help himself. They know they’re inflating or deflating to help themselves, then they iron it out and meet somewhere in the middle. The government doesn’t need to be involved.
The issue is the taxes he's paying on these assets. He's making filings and fighting to depreciate the same properties. The government doesn't care about the bank, they care about the tax dollars he doged. @@markislivingdeliberately
Solid point. They also only give a loan based on a percentage of the value of the property (70-80%). Ive never heard of a bank giving a loan based on the entire value of the property.
The problem with the entire rationale the judge has is it's the lender's responsibility to do an appraisal if Trump is looking for a secured loan. No bank is going to accept the owner's word on an appraisal. None of the lenders claim they were defrauded, and the loans are not in default. Most of them are already paid in full.
@@prdr4913Going bankrupt isn't fraud lol... fraud is when you get a loan knowing you can't pay it back then you steal the money, or you use the money for something other than what it was intended for. Trying to run a business and failing, isn't fraud. This happens all the time, it's the whole reason why bankruptcy exists.
The ruling was not based solely on Mar-a-Lago. The NY judge found multiple instances of Trump and his adult sons having inflated the value of properties. For instance, Engoron found that Trump inflated the value of properties at 40 Wall Street and the Seven Springs Estate in Westchester County, NY as well as a golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland. Notably, Engoron found Trump inflated the size of his triplex apartment at Trump Tower by three times, causing an overvaluation of between $114 million and $207 million. “A discrepancy of this order of magnitude, by a real estate developer sizing up his own living space of decades, can only be considered fraud,” Engoron wrote. Cintron, the Harrington Ocko & Monk partner, doesn’t think the Mar-a-Lago valuation controversy moves the needle on the question of whether Trump committed fraud. “There is enough of a pattern of this practice that he’s engaged with in respect to his properties to support Judge Engoron’s conclusions that there was an intent to defraud,” Cintron said.

I disagree even though I get your point. We can't allow the current political environment to persuade our judicial establishment. We just have BAD judges installed in this wonky system ... judges should remain unbiased.
For banking purposes the land value of Mar a Lago is irrelevant. It is a business, and you value it as a business. As a business, it could easily be valued at a billion. R
@@yonikki The judge used the appraisal value set by the state of Florida though. I don't think it was a number off the top of his head but more so just the recorded data presented to him. I'm sure this comment wont sit right with the right wing and they will say that Florida is in on it or some crazy shit.
Holy shit, the paperwork is public. That is exactly what they did. And the suit is on behalf of the government for all the back tax they are owed, because Trump also claimed the properties were almost worthless when he paid property tax every year. He's either lying to the banks, or the state. Either way he owes someone a huge amount of money. He keeps insisting they're worth the higher amount, which is literally him openly admitting to lying on his property taxes for decades.
@@the_wudarian apparently Biden has already broken the record for vacations at least a year ago. Does it matter anymore? At least Trump can easily say it was a working vacation just by the fact that he had foreign dignitaries with him most of the time he golfed. Also golfing isn't an all day event.
Banks require appraisals before approving mortgages. They never base it on the applicant's opinion. Gosh, this used to be common knowledge, even if you never purchased real estate.
All this proves is that the avg person is dumb. You are correct an appraisal was done. The judge is basing the 18mill on tax appraisals which are never market value
@@JwadeProductions7 Maybe if you continue to post the same 100% wrong thing again and again, it will become true. Are you literally on drugs right now?
Uh no, because Trump himself argued the ASSESSED value of Mar-a-Lago to be less than $26 million in 2020. Trump is intentionally conflating ASSESSED value with MARKET value, so as to make it look as though he dunked on the judge. To put it another way, we all watched Trump play fast and loose with real estate terms and values to make himself look better, in a fraud case where he is accused of playing fast and loose with real estate terms and values to make himself look better. And you think he's in the clear? Wow!
Please don't act surprised, when orange man will have to pay maybe more than 500 million USD in fines to the state for his real estate valuation crimes at the end. You won't understand why he needs to pay, and that's not a problem, but please don't be surprised. Anyway Papa Rogan was ABSOLUTELY INSANE in this clip :D. The guy admits that he knows jackshit about real estate, but either way, he spreads his IGNORANCE and MISINFORMATION just because it feels good to be dumb and irresponsible :D. First of all, that property has NUMEROUS RESTRICTIONS ON IT, so it can't even have a 100 mill. value. Secondly: Papa Trump AGREED to a 27 million appraisal value in 2020, because it was wonderful to pay jackshit in taxes. That's the scheme. But the guy will pay BIGLY after the trial ends :D!!! I would think the appropriate fine should be around 500-600 million USD, but we will see. It will be also interesting to see Trump become a millionaire (from a billionaire) :D. He will have to liquidate all of his NY businesses, towers and real estates at depressed prices. If the guy is worth 2.5 bill, he sells his properties at 1.2, he pays the 500 mill fine, then he will get to around a worth of 700 mill. If he also has to pay back the 250 mill. that he stole from the MAGA cultists with the election lies, then he will arrive to 500. Let's substract another 100 for legal fees and we will get back to the magical 400 that he got from his father 40 years ago :D. If this "genius" had put that amount in the SPX, he would have a 20 billion USD wealth today. This orange American Hitler is RIDICULOUS.
Do your homework Joe. The property is listed as a Historial site. No other houses can be placed on the property. No big changes can be made without approval from the Historical society. It's worth 18 mil because that's what Trump estimated it at for taxes.
What a crock of shit, trump has nothing to do with this. No way he could even get away with it if he did. Calling some ignorant when you yourself are even more wrong than them is hilarious 😂
Companies do the same thing backwards but to dodge taxes. Apple argued a $384 million building it owned in Cupertino, Calif., where it is headquartered, was only worth $200 instead of the $1 billion the tax assessor's office said it was worth. Apple also has appealed valuations with 489 open cases dating back to 2004, disputing $8.5 billion in property value. Buildings that cost tens of millions to build they value at a couple hundred dollars.
The remarkably troubled recent history of Deutsche Bank, its past money-laundering woes - and the bank’s striking relationship with Trump - are the subjects of this week’s episode.

Its between trump corporation and its lenders (banks) end of story. Banks are not complaining. Ive never heard of district attorney’s creating cases of people overvalued assets to get loans and banks not complaining. Its pretty obvious its politically motivated.

It doesnt matter to New York whether the banks got hurt or not. Persistent fraud. He got his greedy hands on money that he was not entitled to. That prevented other potential people, like other Americans, from getting loans. It’s a big Ponzi scheme that the judge has already ruled on. Damages are all that’s left to be decided.
Firstly, that's not the judge's valuation. The valuation of Mar-a-Lago came from the Palm Beach County Assessor who appraised the market value of Mar-a-Lago at between $18 million and $27.6 million. However, that's an appraisal value and should never have been used to estimate it's market value. Secondly, it's not a house or a single family home, it's a social club which also affects it's value and negates the comparison to recently sold residential properties in the area. According to Forbes it's worth $325m less $33m of debt so a value of $292m. If Forbes is right then Trump was exaggerating it's value but not by anything like the amount the judge claimed.
It doesn't even matter what Trump says, the BANK SHOULD BE the one doing the evaluation, and Trump paid back the loans with interest anyways... Who was hurt??
2 acres of land just sold for 100 million, Trump owns 20 acres...that's not including the structures on the property...this is common sense....hilarious
@@mack8154so to answer your question. The bank was hurt because they would have either not loaned him the money or loaned it out at much higher rates to account for the risk. The fraud is all the interest he should have paid that he didn't. This is by the way exactly what caused the 2008 financial crisis. Literally this. A bunch of people pretended to have income they didn't have to get loans for property that then when they couldn't pay back, wasn't worth what they got a loan for. As to "yeah but the banks job is to know that" Well yes and no. Part of what they do is make you fill out a form under penalty of perjury saying things like my property is this big etc and he lied on those. I'm not positive about Mara Lago but he gave a sqft for an apartment he owned in Trump Tower that was 3 times it's actual square footage. As to Mara Lago there's another problem though. HE FOUGHT THE COUNTY ON THE VALUE FOR PROPERTY TAX. this is where it gets pretty clearly ok you know what your doing. The county would come and say it's worth 300 million and trump would say no no no, I've given a bunch of this land over for conservation and this and that and it's worth 20 million. Then he county would agree and tax him at 20 million. He would then go to the bank the next week and tell them it's worth 1.5 billion. Quote "In 2020, Donald Trump appealed a $26.6 million valuation of Mar-A-Lago by the Palm Beach County Tax Assessor as being too high." So the judge is agreeing with Trump on his own value of the property. Which is where it gets hard to square the circle. Was he lying then or is he lying now? He either owes back interest or back taxes. He wants his property to be worth 2 million for taxes and 2 billion for collateral. I can't do that. You can't do that. Why can he? What makes him special?

If a loans officer granted a loan without doing their own appraisal he would get fired, thrown out of the building and then would likely have a police detective on his ass trying to figure out how he profited from such a transaction.

They can also claim their house is worth a lot more than it actually is for a loan, but the underwriters decide whether or not they will take that risk after having an independent appraisal done. If they approved the loan, it's on them. They would also be the ones to file a lawsuit over a dispute like this; they didn't. This lawsuit is bs and needs to be thrown out in appeals.

You're correct, valuation by the county isn't always accurate. Some counties don't update their valuation regularly at all, and its partially based on the properties nearby which do sell within that range if you look at Zillow.

Trumps lawyers might be able to argue that, but is that all there is to the case?
JRE Homies, Theres a difference between market value and tax assessed value. Market value: is wat someone is willing to pay for a home in ur area. An appraiser has some involvement in this process on the seller and buyers side. Tax assessor value: Only represents a portion of the property’s value. Is never in line with market value. Typically reassessments r done on an octennial basis or if an assessor drives by and sees u doing a bunch of exterior work. Tax assessments r limited to only be raised x% of a properties value per yr, regardless of how much the property’s market value increases.

I've interviewed at Mar-a-Lago several times and been given many personal tours. And I would guess its worth somewhere around 500 million. It's not just his home It's also a private club which garners much more value.

When a bank lends money, they don’t just take the borrower’s word on what their collateral is worth! They have it appraised by their own appraisers, so if a bank lends more money than what a property is worth. How is that a scam?
The problem is not whether it is worth $27 million or $200 million. The problem is telling the lenders it's worth $200 million so you can borrow more and then telling the taxman it's worth only $27 million so you pay less.
Anyone who applies for a mortgage inflates their home. And the assessed value is always lower. Usually based on prior years values and a percentage of that.

The bank paid more than $600 million to regulators in 2017 and agreed to a consent order that cited “serious compliance deficiencies” that “spanned Deutsche Bank’s global empire.” The case focused on “mirror trades,” which Deutsche Bank facilitated between 2011 and 2015. The trades were sham transactions whose sole purpose appeared to be to illicitly convert rubles into pounds and dollars - some $10 billion worth. The bank went through a long stretch of low profitability and troubles with regulators including a $7.2 billion penalty from U.S. authorities for misleading buyers of complex mortgage-backed securities that later went sour.
In the state of Florida, the county appraiser bases the property value on the purchase price and each year raises the value by a certain percent (3 ?) for tax purposes. Then, we have homestead exemption, senior discounts etc. that determines the”taxable “ value which has nothing to due with the “market” value of the property. Therefore, a property that was originally purchased and taxed for one million twenty years ago would have a market value many times greater than it current taxable value.
its literally a commercial property & no one can live there legally, trump stays there much more that what the original terms allowed but they let him get away with it
It’s COMMERCIAL property!! All this talk on tax rates is interesting, but it’s meaningless when Trump values it at $500 million. Total BS. But it’s what Trump does.
The banks did their own assessment. Don't know any bank that would just take the word of the real estate's owner. They would do their own appraisal and come to an agreement to a loan amount.

For those curious on the full story of why 18-37 million is because the Palm Beach County tax appraisers based it on the revenue it receives not the value of the property itself which they didn’t even include as it is too difficult to assess
That's not true. People go to jail all the time for manipulating home appraisals. It was so bad in 2008 that they made it illegal for banks to do in house appraisals. It has to be with a 3rd party now. When it comes to large estates the rules are different though because where are so few on the market. It makes it hard to appraise. That said. Mar a Lago is worth at least 10x what that dumb judge said it's worth.
@@deelowe3 you can’t go to jail for telling a bank you think your home is worth what you think it’s worth. You are simply stating your belief of your property value. It’s then the bank’s responsibility to verify it.

Real Estate guy here: 1) Assessment/value got nothing to do with selling price/market price if he decides to sell it, so it's not definite representation of price, selling price is the only indicator of true worth. 2) For banks when they will do appraisal there is no comps for such a mansion, that operates not just as Trum'p's residence but as commercial ballroom/boutique hotel/social club. So depending on operation of the property the bank appraiser will go based on income (and we do not know how much revenue the property generated), not based on comps, because there is not such a thing around the neighborhood, so the bank appraisal is subject to revenue made by this club.
Not going to mention that Mar-a-Lago is deed restricted as a private club. The deed itself is restricted, it can’t be used for any other purpose, like a private residence.
It’s not a single family residence, it’s a club. The use permit does not allow anyone to stay more than 3 non-consecutive weeks per year. That would drastically decrease the value.

@@EdwardHeavrinThat's exactly what the judge said. The judge said that Trump committed fraud by valuing the property at over 700 million because HE KNEW it was only worth 18 million since that was the tax assessed value.
Part of the issue is that Trump was paying property taxes as if it was worth 18 million. Mar-a-lago is either worth 18 million, or he skipped out on a ton of taxes, both are illegal.
You pay taxes on what a government tax assessor values the property. No one, not you, me, or Trump gets to tell the government what a single postage stamp of land is worth. You're just regurgitating nonsense that reveals you've never owned property, or paid property taxes.
@sirdinkus6537 18 million is what the property assessment said. This is where the judge got the number, the judge didn't pull it from thin air.

The city does not do resale value. The city\county calculate tax value, which is based on the original purchase price from decades ago. But you always, always, always use RESALE value for loan docs because the bank wants to know they could sell it to get their money back. Mar-A-Lago is worth a minimum $500 million.
And that's a lie. The TAX ASSESSMENT was 18m... but the appraisal was 400-650m. Both are accurate for the time they were done, because land tax assessment is VERY different from market value.
@@stevealford230from what I understand he got the tax value by petitioning for all these limited uses that brought the value down but when using its value to obtain loans re-instated all the other possible uses to inflate the value by hundreds of millions of dollars. Would that not be fraud?

Everyone knows the tax assessor's valuation is always wrong, either too high or too low. Bizarre for the judge to not call on a neutral real estate expert to assess the values for the court. I don't think it was a rigging decision by the Judge, but it shows the Judge's extreme inexperience and lack of understanding for real estate. Easy appeal.
The remarkably troubled recent history of Deutsche Bank, its past money-laundering woes - and the bank’s striking relationship with Trump - are the subjects of this week’s episode. The German bank loaned a cumulative total of around $2.5 billion to Trump projects over the past two decades, and the bank continued writing him nine-figure checks even after he defaulted on a $640 million obligation and sued the bank, blaming it for his failure to pay back the debt. The filings were made in response to a highly unusual move by lawyers for Trump, his family and his company seeking to quash congressional subpoenas issued to Deutsche Bank and Capital One, a second institution he banked with.
It's worth what you can sell it for. I'm very sure Trump could sell that thing for a billion. Appraisals are for tax purposes, they almost never reflect the market value of something. At the end of the day, if the bank agreed to value it at $1.5 billion for collateral and they didn't get screwed, there's no issue.
You're very sure he could sell it for a billion, yet who outside of Trump is actually claiming it's worth nearly that much ? Forbes put it at under 300 billion (despite Joe at first claiming they said as much as 700 million). The property deed states it needs to remain a club, so it wouldn't be sold on the residential market (which greatly decreases it's value).
I agreed with everything you said up until "for collateral and they didnt get screwed theres no issue." my man if me or you misrepresented things for a loan and got caught, regardless of if it mattered or not/we went bankrupt, there would be serious issues
@@admiller67 The fact that it's a former presidents residence, and a controversial one at that, probably makes it worth more than face value. It's more than famous, it's in-famous.
@michaellong2439 Do you seriously think that banks do not do their own appraisal and loan based on their's, not yours?? Especially if you have a bankruptcy in your past? Anyone who has ever bought, or tried to buy, a house know that the banks do their own appraisal and, based on that appraisal, may require a larger down payment to bring financed amount down to their max loan amount. This used to be taught in HS. Sadly, the public school system and secondary school systems have been taken over by leftist activists. They don't teach basic education anymore much less life skills and the knowledge needed to be a responsible adult. They don't even support being a "responsible" person.

The property value was capped because of the development restriction on it. Which means anyone that bought the purchase would have limitation on how they can renovate to monetize it which severely limits it. Part of the law suit involved him not disclosing these kind of restrictions and actually said the opposite which inflated the value of his property. Please please inform yourself.

Compared to the 1 million and change he paid over that time.

Mar-a-lago is a National Historic Landmark which means it cannot be developed it can only be used as a club which drastically reduces its resale value.
Try to buy it for less than $500 million. You can't. You people are idiots for pretending you know anything about real estate. And trying to analyze it as a business?

Surely its down the the due diligence of whoever is lending the money (bank I presume) to accept the value of a property if your putting it up as collateral on a loan. Someone somewhere would of had to have signed off on it.
Some context that people are not considering. “Mr. Trump himself signed deeds donating his residential development rights, sharply restricting changes to the property, and limiting the permissible use of the property to a social club. In reality.”

It has nothing to do with the true value, or even a private appraisal you would use to describe an asset for personal/business purposes. The State of Florida CANNOT exceed 3% per year, which means it could NEVER capture actual value. Assessment value for tax purposes are completely different then actual Market value.

The $18-$27 million comes from trump himself who reported that value to the county in 2020.
Banks don't just hand out huge loans for a property without sending an independent person to appraise it for them. It is absolutely stupid to think trump just writes down whatever number he wants and the banks just run with it.
100%! Banks lend on appraised value only, which for this home was likely several appraisal reports. Assessor’s also value the home for taxation purposes, and they don’t go on the owner’s estimate either. They should make an example out of that judge. The dude looks like “Doc” from Back to the Future. You know he’s nuts.
Yes but that's not what this is about. The 18 million wasn't invented, Trump had the property appraised in 2011 for 18 million and in the years since has paid property taxes on the development at a value of 18 million to 28 million. So the Judge looked at the discrepancy between the value in Florida, 18 million and the loan value 450 million and said the legal value is the one he paid taxes on so 18 million. That is not stupid at all, its a consequence of seeking hilariously low values for taxes and normal values for loans
@Zaviex The COUNTY assigned a property tax value of 18 million. They do this to all properties. The person owning it doesn't ask or get a say in the assessed tax value. What the value of the square footage/location AND what it earns him by being a club is how it's MARKET VALUE is assessed. It's a commercial property. It brings in REVENUE.
@@Zaviex Yeah, you didn't read anything I said, if he got a loan, someone comes out to appraise it themselves, and they determine the loan size on that appraisal. County assessors do their own appraisal to determine property taxes, also not trump again lol
@@Zaviex I can only assume you don’t own real estate, since everyone who does knows the county or township assesses value and bases the real estate tax on that; usually through mass appraisals and not individual homes. An owner has zero to do with value estimates of their own property for any purpose. If that were the case, everyone would value high for a loan and low for taxes. And let’s not forget about home owners insurance. They value the home too based on cost to rebuild. To repeat, what anyone thinks their house is worth is valuable only in their own mind.
The thing is, the bank would have done their own appraisal during the verification process. For loans of that amount, they would have a team working on it. The fact that Trump got the loan means he passed the bank's own verification process.

The problem with the entire rationale the judge has is it's the lender's responsibility to do an appraisal if Trump is looking for a secured loan. No bank is going to accept the owner's word on an appraisal.
None of the lenders claim they were defrauded, and the loans are not in default. Most of them are already paid in full.

@@prdr4913Going bankrupt isn't fraud lol... fraud is when you get a loan knowing you can't pay it back then you steal the money, or you use the money for something other than what it was intended for. Trying to run a business and failing, isn't fraud. This happens all the time, it's the whole reason why bankruptcy exists.
The ruling was not based solely on Mar-a-Lago. The NY judge found multiple instances of Trump and his adult sons having inflated the value of properties.
For instance, Engoron found that Trump inflated the value of properties at 40 Wall Street and the Seven Springs Estate in Westchester County, NY as well as a golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Notably, Engoron found Trump inflated the size of his triplex apartment at Trump Tower by three times, causing an overvaluation of between $114 million and $207 million.
“A discrepancy of this order of magnitude, by a real estate developer sizing up his own living space of decades, can only be considered fraud,” Engoron wrote.
Cintron, the Harrington Ocko & Monk partner, doesn’t think the Mar-a-Lago valuation controversy moves the needle on the question of whether Trump committed fraud.
“There is enough of a pattern of this practice that he’s engaged with in respect to his properties to support Judge Engoron’s conclusions that there was an intent to defraud,” Cintron said.

Please don't act surprised, when orange man will have to pay maybe more than 500 million USD in fines to the state for his real estate valuation crimes at the end. You won't understand why he needs to pay, and that's not a problem, but please don't be surprised.
Anyway Papa Rogan was ABSOLUTELY INSANE in this clip :D. The guy admits that he knows jackshit about real estate, but either way, he spreads his IGNORANCE and MISINFORMATION just because it feels good to be dumb and irresponsible :D.
First of all, that property has NUMEROUS RESTRICTIONS ON IT, so it can't even have a 100 mill. value. Secondly: Papa Trump AGREED to a 27 million appraisal value in 2020, because it was wonderful to pay jackshit in taxes. That's the scheme. But the guy will pay BIGLY after the trial ends :D!!!
I would think the appropriate fine should be around 500-600 million USD, but we will see.
It will be also interesting to see Trump become a millionaire (from a billionaire) :D. He will have to liquidate all of his NY businesses, towers and real estates at depressed prices. If the guy is worth 2.5 bill, he sells his properties at 1.2, he pays the 500 mill fine, then he will get to around a worth of 700 mill. If he also has to pay back the 250 mill. that he stole from the MAGA cultists with the election lies, then he will arrive to 500. Let's substract another 100 for legal fees and we will get back to the magical 400 that he got from his father 40 years ago :D. If this "genius" had put that amount in the SPX, he would have a 20 billion USD wealth today. This orange American Hitler is RIDICULOUS.
Do your homework Joe. The property is listed as a Historial site. No other houses can be placed on the property. No big changes can be made without approval from the Historical society. It's worth 18 mil because that's what Trump estimated it at for taxes.
His homework is picking what whisky and weed he's going to consume during the podcast
Hey look. Some people DO know how to read. Warms my heart a bit.
The 18M is the CITY/COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR VALUE. Trump had nothing to do with it. That valuation is hugely different from market value.
@@txrdhdinaz184 I wouldn't put it past Trump to have bribed that city assessor so he could save on property taxes.
What a crock of shit, trump has nothing to do with this. No way he could even get away with it if he did. Calling some ignorant when you yourself are even more wrong than them is hilarious 😂
Companies do the same thing backwards but to dodge taxes. Apple argued a $384 million building it owned in Cupertino, Calif., where it is headquartered, was only worth $200 instead of the $1 billion the tax assessor's office said it was worth. Apple also has appealed valuations with 489 open cases dating back to 2004, disputing $8.5 billion in property value. Buildings that cost tens of millions to build they value at a couple hundred dollars.
What Trump did is 100% fraud and I'm extremely right wing. Inflating assets to take personal loans out on those inflated assets is fraud.
Not only this but tax assessors are just as incentivized to lie up as owners are to lie down.
@@HughRGleneverything has to your way I guess

The best part of this is that the lenders said they got paid back with interest and have no issues with anything yet they still push the case
Trump gets his money from Deutsche Bank...one of the most fined and corrupt lenders in the world.
The DA literally ran on a campaign to get Trump.
The remarkably troubled recent history of Deutsche Bank, its past money-laundering woes - and the bank’s striking relationship with Trump - are the subjects of this week’s episode.
The German bank loaned a cumulative total of around $2.5 billion to Trump projects over the past two decades, and the bank continued writing him nine-figure checks even after he defaulted on a $640 million obligation and sued the bank, blaming it for his failure to pay back the debt.
The filings were made in response to a highly unusual move by lawyers for Trump, his family and his company seeking to quash congressional subpoenas issued to Deutsche Bank and Capital One, a second institution he banked with.
Its between trump corporation and its lenders (banks) end of story. Banks are not complaining. Ive never heard of district attorney’s creating cases of people overvalued assets to get loans and banks not complaining. Its pretty obvious its politically motivated. If you want to get him get him on some real crimes rhey probably comitted. Too bad the entire federal government already tried for 2 years during russiagate and found nothing…
It doesnt matter to New York whether the banks got hurt or not. Persistent fraud. He got his greedy hands on money that he was not entitled to. That prevented other potential people, like other Americans, from getting loans. It’s a big Ponzi scheme that the judge has already ruled on. Damages are all that’s left to be decided.
Firstly, that's not the judge's valuation. The valuation of Mar-a-Lago came from the Palm Beach County Assessor who appraised the market value of Mar-a-Lago at between $18 million and $27.6 million. However, that's an appraisal value and should never have been used to estimate it's market value. Secondly, it's not a house or a single family home, it's a social club which also affects it's value and negates the comparison to recently sold residential properties in the area. According to Forbes it's worth $325m less $33m of debt so a value of $292m. If Forbes is right then Trump was exaggerating it's value but not by anything like the amount the judge claimed.
It's incredible that some call Joe a journalist. If he's the new source of info we're screwed. He's way worse than the MSM.
😂😂😂excuses, excuses!!! LOCK HIM UP ASAP!!
It doesn't even matter what Trump says, the BANK SHOULD BE the one doing the evaluation, and Trump paid back the loans with interest anyways... Who was hurt??
2 acres of land just sold for 100 million, Trump owns 20 acres...that's not including the structures on the property...this is common sense....hilarious
@@mack8154so to answer your question. The bank was hurt because they would have either not loaned him the money or loaned it out at much higher rates to account for the risk.
The fraud is all the interest he should have paid that he didn't.
This is by the way exactly what caused the 2008 financial crisis. Literally this. A bunch of people pretended to have income they didn't have to get loans for property that then when they couldn't pay back, wasn't worth what they got a loan for.
As to "yeah but the banks job is to know that"
Well yes and no. Part of what they do is make you fill out a form under penalty of perjury saying things like my property is this big etc and he lied on those. I'm not positive about Mara Lago but he gave a sqft for an apartment he owned in Trump Tower that was 3 times it's actual square footage.
As to Mara Lago there's another problem though.
HE FOUGHT THE COUNTY ON THE VALUE FOR PROPERTY TAX.
this is where it gets pretty clearly ok you know what your doing.
The county would come and say it's worth 300 million and trump would say no no no, I've given a bunch of this land over for conservation and this and that and it's worth 20 million. Then he county would agree and tax him at 20 million.
He would then go to the bank the next week and tell them it's worth 1.5 billion.
Quote
"In 2020, Donald Trump appealed a $26.6 million valuation of Mar-A-Lago by the Palm Beach County Tax Assessor as being too high."
So the judge is agreeing with Trump on his own value of the property. Which is where it gets hard to square the circle.
Was he lying then or is he lying now?
He either owes back interest or back taxes.
He wants his property to be worth 2 million for taxes and 2 billion for collateral. I can't do that. You can't do that. Why can he? What makes him special?

Banks are supposed to send an appraiser before giving the loan. Banks dont lend money based on the word of the person asking for the loan.
Exactly.
@@cyberft If the banks think something is amiss, they may send an appraiser.
In this case Deutsche Bank thought the Trump family overvalued their assets by $2 billion - but they still gave them the loan, which means that the alleged overvaluation was immaterial to the business conducted.
There's no legal requirement to have a property appraisal on every property you have (and 3 appraisers will give you different values anyway).
Corrupt DAs and judges should not re-write the law to persecute people. It's not really that tricky to figure out.

This judge on the trump case spoke out before the case and said he basically didnt like trump and didnt like his policy, so how can they over see a case against the same person
The way Trump purchased property along with the zoning and land restrictions caused the value to be that low. I dont think Joe or any of his guests understand the case.

They can also claim their house is worth a lot more than it actually is for a loan, but the underwriters decide whether or not they will take that risk after having an independent appraisal done. If they approved the loan, it's on them. They would also be the ones to file a lawsuit over a dispute like this; they didn't. This lawsuit is bs and needs to be thrown out in appeals.
One minor correction is that it should have never been filed, but the problem is that it's in NY so the appeals justices are also corrupt.

Mar-a-lago is NOT a house - it is NOT zoned to be a house
Mar-a-lago is zoned as a commercial property - the tax assessment is $18m-$27m
Taxable value and market value are not the same thing, especially if it has been a long time since the property traded hands. They’re often not in the same universe.
And commercial property gets valued based on the income it generates. I’ve seen a lot of comments saying it brings in $15m/year….If that is a net number, and you assume a “cap rate” of 3% (probably conservative for that area - may be even lower) the value would be $500m

You're correct, valuation by the county isn't always accurate. Some counties don't update their valuation regularly at all, and its partially based on the properties nearby which do sell within that range if you look at Zillow. So I would like to see the details of the assessments before saying the Judge was biased. That might be all he can legally go off of, also. Trumps lawyers might be able to argue that, but is that all there is to the case?
JRE Homies,
Theres a difference between market value and tax assessed value.
Market value: is wat someone is willing to pay for a home in ur area. An appraiser has some involvement in this process on the seller and buyers side.
Tax assessor value: Only represents a portion of the property’s value. Is never in line with market value. Typically reassessments r done on an octennial basis or if an assessor drives by and sees u doing a bunch of exterior work. Tax assessments r limited to only be raised x% of a properties value per yr, regardless of how much the property’s market value increases.
If they could read they would be angry.

Right, but those could be separate things. A single property can have multiple uses and split up in the accounting. Even small business owners do this, not sure why it is such a phenomena that big business people do it as well.

The problem is not whether it is worth $27 million or $200 million. The problem is telling the lenders it's worth $200 million so you can borrow more and then telling the taxman it's worth only $27 million so you pay less.
Nope. Read my comment on this thread.
Anyone who applies for a mortgage inflates their home. And the assessed value is always lower. Usually based on prior years values and a percentage of that.
And no one can really give value on that property. There’s nothing like it and people will pay more for trump’s property.
But one thing is true. There’s no way it’s only 18.0mm.

➧ Deutsche Bank loaned Trump’s company $125 million as part of the overall $150 million purchase of the ailing Doral golf resort in Miami in 2012. The loans’ primary collateral was land and buildings that he paid only $105 million for, county land records show. The apparent favorable terms raise questions about whether the bank’s loan was unusually risky.
➧ To widespread alarm, and at least one protest that Trump would not be able to pay his lease obligations, Deutsche Bank’s private wealth group loaned the Trump Organization an additional $175 million to renovate the Old Post Office Building in Washington and turn it into a luxury hotel.
Like Trump, Deutsche Bank has been scrutinized for its dealings in Russia. The bank paid more than $600 million to regulators in 2017 and agreed to a consent order that cited “serious compliance deficiencies” that “spanned Deutsche Bank’s global empire.” The case focused on “mirror trades,” which Deutsche Bank facilitated between 2011 and 2015. The trades were sham transactions whose sole purpose appeared to be to illicitly convert rubles into pounds and dollars - some $10 billion worth.
The bank went through a long stretch of low profitability and troubles with regulators including a $7.2 billion penalty from U.S. authorities for misleading buyers of complex mortgage-backed securities that later went sour.
Pay properly taxes on low value Get loans on high value. Sell to someone needing to laundry a massive amount of ill gotten cash!
In the state of Florida, the county appraiser bases the property value on the purchase price and each year raises the value by a certain percent (3 ?) for tax purposes. Then, we have homestead exemption, senior discounts etc. that determines the”taxable “ value which has nothing to due with the “market” value of the property. Therefore, a property that was originally purchased and taxed for one million twenty years ago would have a market value many times greater than it current taxable value.
that place can't be a 'home' so it can't have a homestead exemption
its literally a commercial property & no one can live there legally, trump stays there much more that what the original terms allowed but they let him get away with it
It’s COMMERCIAL property!! All this talk on tax rates is interesting, but it’s meaningless when Trump values it at $500 million. Total BS. But it’s what Trump does.
The banks did their own assessment. Don't know any bank that would just take the word of the real estate's owner. They would do their own appraisal and come to an agreement to a loan amount.
Fraudulent documents
Trump probably hired an appraiser and paid him to inflate the price worth. I’ve seen it as a property manager
@@king_vision4085 Can you explain to me what type of document it was and what was fraudulently put on it?
@@king_vision4085then it would have been a criminal trial. That is a crime. And yet this is not a criminal trial and no banks have filed complaints or charges against him.
@@king_vision4085 Compare it to all the lots around it, which sell for $30m per acre at minimum... times 17+acres... and then add in that it's a business which does $25m/yr, and calculate the valuation of the business plus the value of the land... and you'll see why THE LENDERS' INDEPENDENT APPRAISERS AGREED WITH TRUMP'S NUMBERS.
I wish he realized it is a resort that brings in 25M per year not just his personal residence. And I wish they understood that banks don’t lend on stated worth. The banks have appraisers that dictate the value.

@king_vision4085 but THAT example isn't the case here.
For those curious on the full story of why 18-37 million is because the Palm Beach County tax appraisers based it on the revenue it receives not the value of the property itself which they didn’t even include as it is too difficult to assess
If anyone overvalues their assets to a bank for a loan…..after that it’s on the bank to figure it out
Have you considered the possibility that you’re wrong about this?
That's not true. People go to jail all the time for manipulating home appraisals. It was so bad in 2008 that they made it illegal for banks to do in house appraisals. It has to be with a 3rd party now. When it comes to large estates the rules are different though because where are so few on the market. It makes it hard to appraise.
That said. Mar a Lago is worth at least 10x what that dumb judge said it's worth.
@@deelowe3 you can’t go to jail for telling a bank you think your home is worth what you think it’s worth. You are simply stating your belief of your property value. It’s then the bank’s responsibility to verify it.

Yeah I can see how you think they are the same
Real Estate guy here:
1) Assessment/value got nothing to do with selling price/market price if he decides to sell it, so it's not definite representation of price, selling price is the only indicator of true worth.
2) For banks when they will do appraisal there is no comps for such a mansion, that operates not just as Trum'p's residence but as commercial ballroom/boutique hotel/social club. So depending on operation of the property the bank appraiser will go based on income (and we do not know how much revenue the property generated), not based on comps, because there is not such a thing around the neighborhood, so the bank appraisal is subject to revenue made by this club.
Not going to mention that Mar-a-Lago is deed restricted as a private club. The deed itself is restricted, it can’t be used for any other purpose, like a private residence.
@@humanbeing8400 the deed restrictions make it so you can't compare it to the residential homes near it, that's what Joe is doing.

@@nealorr5086 exactly, but nobody ever said, especially the judge, that the house was actually valued at 18 million. JRE has his facts wrong
@@EdwardHeavrinThat's exactly what the judge said. The judge said that Trump committed fraud by valuing the property at over 700 million because HE KNEW it was only worth 18 million since that was the tax assessed value.
“These valuations are absolutely ridiculous!!!” Followed by “I know nothing about real estate valuations”
Part of the issue is that Trump was paying property taxes as if it was worth 18 million. Mar-a-lago is either worth 18 million, or he skipped out on a ton of taxes, both are illegal.
You pay taxes on what a government tax assessor values the property. No one, not you, me, or Trump gets to tell the government what a single postage stamp of land is worth. You're just regurgitating nonsense that reveals you've never owned property, or paid property taxes.
@sirdinkus6537 18 million is what the property assessment said. This is where the judge got the number, the judge didn't pull it from thin air. It also isn't that Trumps estimate is high, it is that it is SO much higher than the assessment. I live in Florida and pay property taxes here, I understand the process.
Not only that, understand that Maralago is a business, Golf course and venues which generates revenue every year lol it's not just a house lol
It would be worth way more if it was residential. It is not, however.
The great thing about this is, it's waking a lot of people up to just how crooked the justice system is and how biased they are against Trump, and suddenly you have Bernie Bros like me fully on board for Trump 2024.

Trump filed for special classification with the state because of its history so he’d get a lower tax rate. The judge used the numbers from the county assessor. He didn’t make his own evaluation. Trump wants to says the value us much higher for his PR campaign.

The city does not do resale value. The city\county calculate tax value, which is based on the original purchase price from decades ago. But you always, always, always use RESALE value for loan docs because the bank wants to know they could sell it to get their money back. Mar-A-Lago is worth a minimum $500 million.
Good expanation...thanks...
No the judge didnt appraise it at 18M He stated there were appraisals for 18M
And that's a lie. The TAX ASSESSMENT was 18m... but the appraisal was 400-650m. Both are accurate for the time they were done, because land tax assessment is VERY different from market value.

@@stevealford230from what I understand he got the tax value by petitioning for all these limited uses that brought the value down but when using its value to obtain loans re-instated all the other possible uses to inflate the value by hundreds of millions of dollars. Would that not be fraud?

Everyone knows the tax assessor's valuation is always wrong, either too high or too low. Bizarre for the judge to not call on a neutral real estate expert to assess the values for the court. I don't think it was a rigging decision by the Judge, but it shows the Judge's extreme inexperience and lack of understanding for real estate. Easy appeal.
Either way, trump still inflated the value for loans and lowered it for taxes.

This episode was so good, Joe was so relaxed, loved it!
The remarkably troubled recent history of Deutsche Bank, its past money-laundering woes - and the bank’s striking relationship with Trump - are the subjects of this week’s episode.
The German bank loaned a cumulative total of around $2.5 billion to Trump projects over the past two decades, and the bank continued writing him nine-figure checks even after he defaulted on a $640 million obligation and sued the bank, blaming it for his failure to pay back the debt.
The filings were made in response to a highly unusual move by lawyers for Trump, his family and his company seeking to quash congressional subpoenas issued to Deutsche Bank and Capital One, a second institution he banked with.
I think you mean stoned
It's worth what you can sell it for. I'm very sure Trump could sell that thing for a billion. Appraisals are for tax purposes, they almost never reflect the market value of something. At the end of the day, if the bank agreed to value it at $1.5 billion for collateral and they didn't get screwed, there's no issue.
The left will pretend not to understand this. But when Lil' Hunter sells some nonsense painting for millions, suddenly they'll get the idea.
You're very sure he could sell it for a billion, yet who outside of Trump is actually claiming it's worth nearly that much ? Forbes put it at under 300 billion (despite Joe at first claiming they said as much as 700 million). The property deed states it needs to remain a club, so it wouldn't be sold on the residential market (which greatly decreases it's value).
I agreed with everything you said up until "for collateral and they didnt get screwed theres no issue." my man if me or you misrepresented things for a loan and got caught, regardless of if it mattered or not/we went bankrupt, there would be serious issues
@@admiller67 The fact that it's a former presidents residence, and a controversial one at that, probably makes it worth more than face value. It's more than famous, it's in-famous.
@michaellong2439 Do you seriously think that banks do not do their own appraisal and loan based on their's, not yours?? Especially if you have a bankruptcy in your past? Anyone who has ever bought, or tried to buy, a house know that the banks do their own appraisal and, based on that appraisal, may require a larger down payment to bring financed amount down to their max loan amount. This used to be taught in HS. Sadly, the public school system and secondary school systems have been taken over by leftist activists. They don't teach basic education anymore much less life skills and the knowledge needed to be a responsible adult. They don't even support being a "responsible" person.
Good to know I can just have a judge appraise the next property I want to buy instead of an appraiser hired by a bank.

The Windsors have spent like 500 years collecting that wealth.
So true, even if the judge said 180MM or 500MM - that would still be massively undervalued, just madness.
500 m is about correct valuation. Considering the golf resort
18 million was the value Trump used to cheat on his property taxes
They didn’t even try to not be partisan
The property value was capped because of the development restriction on it. Which means anyone that bought the purchase would have limitation on how they can renovate to monetize it which severely limits it.
Part of the law suit involved him not disclosing these kind of restrictions and actually said the opposite which inflated the value of his property.
Please please inform yourself. People aren’t out to get trump, he clearly mess up which is why his lawyers opted for summary judgment and not even a trial. You guys are actually sheep.
500MM would be a massive haircut, like your not selling at that point your just trying to prevent your creditors from ending you. And you use MM not M as MM is short hand for a thousand, thousands. (as M is a roman numerial - cmon bro get your MBA on lol). The real value of property is as collateral is support of line of credit, your wholesale banker has a complex credit risk model (jpm used obligor scoring when i was there) - meaning the lender co-signs off on evaluation plugging values into model. And if they are legit they hired an independent assessor. The tax number the shady NY judge looked at exist independent of the market - why? Well Florida shenanigans 9property tax) that is why. @@robot9071
If that place is worth 1.5B then Trump owes FL a lot of money, according to the tax appraiser it's only worth about 26M.

How about this, would Trump be willing to refile and pay property taxes at his recently stated value of 1.5 billion? He would owe around 150 million or so. Compared to the 1 million and change he paid over that time.
@Zaviex ha! exactly! rogan is always going on and on about how he researches everything. He got this totally wrong. The judge said $18million because that's what Trump claimed! He wanted to pay lower taxes! Why is everyone in this comments section having such a hard time understanding this!?

@@Zaviexeven if he wants higher number he literally can’t. Valuation changes are capped by 3% per year, unless maybe, since I don’t know the law there, Trump would insist to dispute the number to pay higher taxes. Which has no use for him because bank didnt consider the property as just $18 mill.
Do you know anyone with their right mind that would ask for re-appraisal so they can pay higher taxes with no upside?
How can there be a dispute?
It's what the banks and insurance companies say it is. They're the ones that assess the value.
