The Opportunity
Miami-Dade is repricing — block by block.
Cost, credit and insurance conditions differ block by block. We underwrite each property on its own facts.

- Value-Creation Focus
Changing insurance, financing and operating costs continue to reshape acquisition opportunities across the market. LIBA focuses on situations where local knowledge, disciplined underwriting and active execution can create an attractive basis for long-term ownership.

Condos / Apartments
Stabilized + select value-add
LIBA invests exclusively where it operates. Pricing, insurance, permitting and rental conditions differ block by block, so local specialization — not breadth — is what makes underwriting reliable.
Coverage is deliberately narrow so every property is judged against the block it sits on.
02
Aventura
Condos and apartments in high-demand corridors and well-managed buildings.

Wynwood
Planned CMU Miami campus area. Proximity drives screening and underwriting activity; each property must still earn capital on its own.

Sourcing
A significant portion of our sourcing focuses on off-market and special-situation opportunities.
Off-Market
Direct owner outreach outside listed inventory.
Special Situations
Pre-foreclosure and other situations where timing and certainty matter.
Distress Signals
Code, tax, lien and permit records reviewed for change of condition.
Ownership Signals
Ownership duration, transfers and portfolio patterns.
Local Relationships
Brokers, wholesalers, sellers and partners across the seven core submarkets.
Proprietary Intelligence
Property-level Miami-Dade intelligence built from thousands of recorded facts.
Underwriting Philosophy
We underwrite each property on its own facts.
Seven lenses are applied to every file. Model outputs support, but do not replace, human underwriting, legal, financial, lender and insurance review.
Basis
What the asset costs relative to what the submarket supports.
Income
In-place rents, workforce and voucher-supported income, vacancy.
Renovation
Scope certainty, cost and duration established before close.
Risk
Insurance, flood, condition, legal and title considerations.
Financing
Conservative leverage stress-tested to downside; reserves funded at close.
Downside
Each case is tested against a downside as well as a base case.
Exit / Hold
Three to seven years typical; long-term holds where fundamentals compound.
Proprietary scoring inputs, weights and formulas are confidential and are not disclosed.
How we create value
We underwrite for the real world — not the spreadsheet.

Investment Criteria
What we underwrite, and what we don't.
01
Geographic Focus
Miami-Dade County only. We invest exclusively where we operate — eight core submarkets we know block by block, including Miami Shores, home of the current portfolio.
02
Asset Types
Single-family residences, duplexes, and small multifamily (2–20 units). Select value-add residential portfolios evaluated case by case.
03
Preferred Deal Size
$500K–$5M per asset. Portfolio aggregations up to $25M considered when submarket and thesis align.
04
Investment Strategy
Value-add and opportunistic. Renovation, unit-mix optimization, off-market and special-situation acquisitions driven by disciplined sourcing, underwriting and execution.
05
Financing Philosophy
Conservative leverage stress-tested to downside. Reserves funded at close. All-cash and financed acquisitions considered per deal.
06
Hold Period
Three to seven years typical. Opportunistic exits when thesis is realized; long-term holds retained when compounding fundamentals support it.
Discipline
What We Do Not Acquire.
- Assets outside Miami-Dade County
- Office, retail, and industrial commercial
- Special-situation assets outside our submarkets
- Illiquid third-party syndication interests

Underwriting
How LIBA underwrites
Every investment is underwritten on its own facts. Property information is gathered, verified and organized into a single file; a scoring model applies LIBA’s proprietary investment methodology to produce a documented base case; and LIBA principals review the evidence, challenge the model’s assumptions and make the final investment decision. Model outputs support, but never replace, principal judgment and standard legal, financial, lender and insurance review.
LIBA Capital combines principal-led investment judgment with LIBA SI, an enterprise intelligence platform supporting financial analysis, underwriting and investment decisions.
