Talk about The Art of the Deal: The new owner of Donald Trump's childhood home in Queens is trying to flip the house for an eye-popping profit. Secret bids in the auction have to be submitted by today. NY1's Michael Herzenberg has the story.

Potential bidders from around the world are interested in this Jamaica Estates Tudor — or at least that is what the owner is hoping.

"It's a charming home but absent the Trump connection it's just a house," said Misha Haghani with Paramount Realty USA.

Donald Trump lived in this two-story, brick-and-stucco, 5 bedroom until he was four years old. His developer father built it in 1940.

Isaac Kestenberg bought it eight years ago, but at the time didn't know the Donald lived here.

And he certainly wasn't aware that he was purchasing what one day would become part of American history.

"It gives you some sense of power you know I don't know some internal power it feels great basically," Kestenberg said.

Despite that, Kestenberg says he no longer needed the 3,600-square-feet because he daughter went off to college, so he put it up for sale during the campaign.

Kestenberg said he voted for Trump — not because he liked him:

"Because I lived in his house," he said.

But, not many potential buyers were feeling the same love for Trump.

There were no takers when Kestenberg put the home on the market for $1.6 million.

He dropped the price twice before an anonymous buyer scooped it up in December for about $1.4 million.

Now that buyer is trying to flip the house at a huge profit.

The hope is that with Trump just days away from his inauguration, someone is willing to pay way above market rate.

"Without the trump name it's worth a million something, one-point something, so how much more is someone going to pay to either say I own the home, the childhood home of president-elect Trump, or someone who wants to dedicate to whatever turn it into a museum a library," said realtor Haghani.

The auctioneer says he would not be surprised if the home went for $3 million.

However, that would be double what the home sold for just a month ago.

We are told the owner will review bids and make a decision over the next several days.
