Continuing on the theme of California real estate, today's post concerns LAACO, Ltd. LAACO is a California partnership. At I write, the partnership has 169,985 units outstanding and a market capitalization of around $338 million. (Units trade at a fairly wide bid/ask spread.) LAACO's business is real estate. The partnership's name comes from its ownership of the venerable Los Angeles Athletic Club, but the partnership also owns over 50 self-storage operations as well as some other land holdings in Los Angeles. LAACO is extremely well-run, only modestly leveraged, and trades at a very attractive multiple of net operating income.
