Investment process
In a highly fragmented multifamily real estate market, Lexerd moves quickly to acquire suitable assets with attractive cash flows by securing properties at below market prices via off-market transactions. Following successful acquisition of properties at attractive valuations, Lexerd drives operational efficiency to maximize net operating income and improve the long-term value of each real estate holding. Locking-in value at below market rates along with improved net operating income ensures attractive yields typically captured with an annual distribution of 8% and a multiple return of capital investment. Through a joint venture with First Communities, one of the largest US apartment managers, Lexerd maximizes returns to LPs while offering an annual stable distribution to investors as well. Joint oversight allows for tracking performance, optimizing value added investments and driving efficiency in day-to-day operations.
