Quotables “I think in order to negotiate well, you have to be a good listener so you always want to hear what the other side is saying and formulate your opinion.” “There are no shortcuts. Due diligence is key to most deals – you want to know as much as you can about any property or deal.” “If a deal lingers on too long, it always seems to collapse so I think when you’re getting into a deal, you always want to set realistic expectations and then you want to stick to the timeline.” Links Website: Stonecrest Financial https://stonecrestfinancial.net/ Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/ Email: RCN Capital info@rcncapital.com
