On behalf of its clients, L&B focuses on opportunities that meet a variety of income, appreciation and diversification profiles, ranging from stable, difficult to replicate properties to more aggressive tactical opportunities. Strategies for different property types vary depending on the client's risk/return profile. The firm chooses its markets carefully, typically investing in those with barriers to entry or specific demographic characteristics.

L&B’s acquisitions professionals are charged with identifying investments, which meet the characteristics identified in our client's Annual Investment Plans, as developed by the Portfolio Manager.

The Annual Investment Plans integrate client objectives to identify –

• Investment Strategies

• Target Markets

• Acquisition Parameters

• Risk/Return Relationship

Additionally, our acquisitions professionals work with Asset Managers and the Research Department, on all potential acquisitions to analyze:

• Dynamics of the Local Economy

• Submarket Data

• Recent Sales Transactions

• Demographics

• Historical Trends
