Here’s an interesting study in before and after — although technically, both these homes fall into the “after” side of Donald Trump’s chronology.

The presidential hopeful spent his early childhood in this first home, located in the Jamaica Estates section of Queens in New York City.

Now on the market for $1.55 million, it was built by Trump’s father, a local real estate developer and landlord, according to listing agent Howard Kaminowitz of Laffey Fine Homes.

“We hope to sell before the election,” he said. “The house is a bargain for a large family.”

Decades later, Trump bought a much expansive and glitzier home in Beverly Hills' posh 90210 area code.

Gracious though it is, the 2,000-square-foot home has no sweeping marble entrances or gold-plated fixtures. It’s a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath family home with hardwood floors and a fireplace in the living room.

The Los Angeles Times reports that, at a later time, he flipped this mansion at a loss.
