Quotables “As an investor, your broker is your best asset—they don’t get paid unless your deal closes.” “If you’re sending one deal a year, you’re not top of mind. If you’re sending ten a month, you are.” “Longevity in real estate comes from partnerships. Consistent partnerships create consistent profits.” Links Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Email: RCN Capital info@rcncapital.com Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/ |
