Key Takeaways:

“It’s not about what you make. It’s about what you keep.” – Anthony Vicino  

“You go and find those people who have been in the industry for 30+ years. They have really low debt on their properties, they value tenants that are going to take care of their property and stay for a long time so they aren’t drying up rents, and they’re looking for easy transactions because they just want to get out, they want to move on to the next thing. They don’t want somebody coming back and not following through with what they said.” – Anthony Vicino  

“We’re good to our word. We never put a deal under the contract that we don’t close. We don’t renegotiate unless there’s something that’s just catastrophically wrong that we couldn’t have known about.” – Anthony Vicino  

“The most valuable business lesson a mentor ever shared with me was that a dollar saved is worth more than a dollar earned.” – Anthony Vicino  

“Position yourself in their minds. One of the most powerful places that you can be in at any network or event is on the stage. If you can find a way to get onto that stage, then you immediately elevate your presence in everybody’s minds.” – Anthony Vicino
