Lakeside Investment Company uses a comprehensive and disciplined investment approach. Variables suitable for population growth are given close examination along with vacancy and rental rates as well as employment indicators.  Markets with favorable demand characteristics such as job and population growth and demographic shifts are pursued. Similarly, markets with supply constraints receive more favorable underwriting. Markets with signs of oversupply are carefully watched and timing to enter or exit is closely monitored. Potential investments are selected and screened using a rigorous set of criteria based upon the operating performance history of the local market and the experience gained from our previous and current access to these markets. Upon stabilization, investors generally receive cash flow but our focus is on value creation and internal rates of return.

Our team’s significant expertise and extensive resources allow Lakeside to provide above market cash flow returns and significant resale appreciation to investors. Our investment philosophy centers on acquiring undervalued assets and applying our management and investment expertise to generate high returns for investors.

We aggressively search for attractive opportunities while analyzing and projecting future returns and risks for investors.  The investments we buy are often unlisted and well located in below average condition. Unlisted, off-market, and under-marketed investments reduce competition among buyers. The below average condition of the properties provides our asset management team opportunities to add significant value by efficiently managing and improving the condition. In addition, the buyer pool for an asset with deferred maintenance is smaller and less competitive.
