That statement is, categorically, a crock of shit.  Trump has made it clear
that he gets his jollies 'doing the deal'.  It's more than about money,
though he loves it, for sure.  Trump deserves a bunch of credit; he was
virtually bankrupt, and he built it all back.  His experience would have
broken lesser men.

Regarding the original question: most successful investors know the
difference between 'cash' and 'cash-flow'.  Some projects are designed to
generate lump sums; others are for income streams.  Having a healthy balance
of both let's you play golf once in awhile. :-)
