Tweetable Quotes:
“I’m 65. I’m financially secure. So, I don’t need to hit a home run.” – Arn Cenedella
“My investing approach was to just hit line drive base hit after base hit after base hit. And if you do that for 15-20 years, you’re going to be in pretty good shape, but there’s a lot to like about multifamily.” – Arn Cenedella
“For me, I would say, strong number 1 is I have to have an innate sense of trust with the sponsor. I like to hear him talk. I like to get in meetings with them. Review some of their past projects. For me, it’s kind of a gut instinctual feeling that I just try to rely on by getting to know the people.” – Arn Cenedella
“Yes, it’s a business, and we want to make a return, but we also have some kind of larger duty. And in fact, doing the right thing is most often good business anyway.” – Arn Cenedella
