Investment strategy
Buy Right
ILM targets student and multifamily assets with attractive demographics and strong fundamentals. We actively seek conventional properties in desirable metropolitan areas that demonstrate stability and growth in employment. We focus on student properties that are pedestrian or shuttle accessible to a target university. ILM employs rigorous internal diligence and valuation processes.
Manage Tight
ILM keeps a tight grip on our properties by providing in-house management. We improve operational and marketing processes by providing training and direct support to onsite teams.
Improve Prudently
ILM frequently undertakes extensive renovations and updates proven to increase value. We prioritize investment for properties requiring physical plant rehabilitation and renovation.
Grow Net Operating Income (NOI)
ILM optimizes revenue through rental rate increases that maximize the financial performance of its properties. We control expenses through effective vendor management, use of technology, and procurement scale. By focusing on current income and capital appreciation, ILM reduces dependence on capital markets and rising tides.
