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.

- Off-Market
- Sourcing focus
- Value-Add
- 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.
Strategy
Where investment intelligence meets local execution.
01
Value-Add
Renovation, unit-mix optimization, expense rationalization, and revenue management to stabilize NOI.
02
Opportunistic
Off-market, pre-foreclosure and other special-situation acquisitions where disciplined sourcing, diligence and execution can create an attractive acquisition basis.
03
Rehabilitation & Repositioning
Substantial rehabilitation and property repositioning where physical improvements can unlock durable long-term value.
04
Workforce & HCV-Supported Housing
Residential and small multifamily assets where workforce demand and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV / Section 8) tenancy may support durable income.
Where we invest
Six submarkets. Local intelligence at the property level.
Miami · North Miami · Aventura · Keystone · Coral Gables · Coconut Grove
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.
Six submarkets, one county. Coverage is deliberately narrow so every property is judged against the block it sits on.

Aventura
Condos and apartments in high-demand corridors and well-managed buildings.

Sourcing
Most of what we buy is never listed.
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 six submarkets.
Proprietary Intelligence
Continuous screening across 12,000+ Miami-Dade parcels in coverage.
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.
