Insiders Take: Landmark has not been on our radar for some time.  Interesting to see this investment from a group that might have deep pockets.  How much of an emphasis does Landmark have in purchasing billboard leases? This we pulled yesterday from their web site.

“We work with individuals, corporations, municipalities, faith-based organizations, government institutions and others. Billboard, cellular, solar and wind lease acquisition are an essential part of our business. If you receive rent for a billboard, cell tower or rooftop antenna, solar farm or wind turbine on your property, Landmark Dividend is interested in speaking to you.”
