     L.M.   GRAT   (a   grantor  retained  annuity  trust)  (the  "Trust").

<PAGE>

CUSIP NO.  501940209                    13D              PAGE 4 OF 7 PAGES

     Subsequently, MFA transferred  2,000,000  shares  of  LMM  and  30,000
     shares to the Foundation, of which Leonard Miller is the President.

     On October 31, 1997, Lennar Corporation ("Lennar") distributed to its 
     stockholders (the "Spin-Off") one share of
     Common  Stock for each share of Lennar Common Stock or Lennar Class  B
     Common Stock  held  on  September 2, 1997, with the option to exchange
     any shares of LNR Common Stock for shares of LNR Class B Common Stock.
     On November 10, 1997, MFA,  LMM  and the Foundation each exchanged all
     the LNR Common Stock they received  in  the  Spin-Off  for LNR Class B
     Stock.   The LNR Class B Stock can at any time be converted  into  LNR
     Common Stock.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     The acquisition  of the Shares of Class B Common Stock by MFA, LMM and
the Foundation will not:

     a)   result in the  acquisition by any person of additional securities
     of Lennar, or the disposition of securities of LNR.

     b)   result  in an extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such  as  a
     merger, reorganization  or  liquidation,  involving  LNR or any of its
     subsidiaries.

     c)   result in the sale or transfer of a material amount  of assets of
     LNR or of any of its subsidiaries.

     d)   result  in  any  change  in  the  present  board of directors  or
     management  of  LNR, including any plans or proposals  to  change  the
     number or term of  directors  or to fill any existing vacancies on the
     board.

     e)   result in any material change  in  the  present capitalization or
     dividend policy of LNR.

     f)   result  in  any  other  material  change  in  LNR's  business  or
     corporate structure.

     g)   result in changes in LNR's certificate of incorporation or bylaws
     or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of LNR by
     any person.

     h)   result  in causing a class of securities of LNR  to  be  delisted
     from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
     quoted in an inter-dealer  quotation  system  of a registered national
     securities association.

     i)   result in a class of equity securities of  LNR  becoming eligible
     for  termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)  of  the
     Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     j)   result in any action similar to those enumerated above.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER.

     a)   Leonard  Miller  has  beneficial ownership in 9,927,930 shares of
     Class B Common Stock, which  are  convertible into 9,927,930 shares of
     Common Stock, which would be 27.53% of the Common Stock.

     MFA  owns  4,397,930  shares  of  Class  B  Common  Stock,  which  are
     convertible into 4,397,930 shares of  Common  Stock,  which  would  be
     equal to 12.19% of the Common Stock.

     LMM  owns  5,500,000  shares  of  Class  B  Common  Stock,  which  are
     convertible  into  5,500,000  shares  of  Common Stock, which would be
     equal to 15.25% of the Common Stock.

     The Corporation has a 5% interest in both MFA and LMM, and as a result
     is deemed to have an indirect interest in 5%  of  the 4,397,930 shares
     of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class  B  Common Stock
     held  by  MFA  and the 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable  upon
     conversion of the  Class  B  Common Stock held by LMM.  Therefore, the
     Corporation  has an indirect interest  in  494,897  shares  of  Common
     Stock, which would be equal to 1.37% of the Common Stock.

     Leonard Miller, as the sole shareholder of the Corporation, has a 100%
     interest in the  Corporation's  5% interest in the 9,897,930 shares of
     Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock held
     by MFA and LMM.  In addition, Mr. Miller, as a limited partner of MFA,
     has a 94%, and his wife has the remaining  1%,  pecuniary  interest in
     the 4,397,930 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion  of  the
     Class  B Common Stock held by MFA.  Therefore, Mr. Miller is deemed to
     be the beneficial  owner  of  the  entire  4,397,930 shares of Class B
     Common Stock held by MFA.  However, Mr. Miller's  beneficial ownership
     in those shares is indirect, rather than direct.

     The  Trust,  as  a  limited partner of LMM, has virtually  the  entire
     pecuniary  interest in  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon
     conversion of  the  Class B Common Stock held by LMM.  During the term
     of the Trust, Mr. Miller  is  to  receive  annually an amount equal to
     39.244% of the fair market value of the Trust  assets  at  the time of
     the  Trust's  creation  out  of  the Trust's income, and to the extent
     income is insufficient, out of the  Trust's  principal.   Although the
     Trust  is  irrevocable,  Mr. Miller has the right to substitute  other
     assets for the limited partnership  interest in LMM as an asset of the

<PAGE>

CUSIP NO.  501940209                    13D                  PAGE 6 OF 7 PAGES

     Trust.  As a result of his ownership  of  all the outstanding stock of
     the Corporation and his beneficial interest  in  the Trust, Mr. Miller
     is deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the  5,500,000 shares
     of  Class  B  Common  Stock owned by LMM and the 5,500,000  shares  of
     Common Stock issuable on  conversion of that Class B Common Stock.
 
          As the President of the Foundation,  Mr.  Miller  may  be  deemed
     to have indirect beneficial ownership of the 30,000 shares of Class  B
     Common Stock owned by the Foundation.

     b)   Leonard  Miller,  as  the  sole  shareholder  and chief executive
     officer of the Corporation, which is the general partner  of  MFA  and
     LMM,  has  the  sole  power  to direct the vote and disposition of the
     4,397,930 shares of Class B Common  Stock  held  by  MFA  and  of  the
     5,500,000  shares of Class B Common Stock held by LMM.  Mr. Miller, as
     the President  of the Foundation, has the power to direct the vote and
     disposition of the  30,000  shares of Class B Common Stock held by the
     Foundation.

     c)   On June 10, 1997, Lennar  announced  that  it  had entered into a
     Separation and Distribution Agreement with LNR providing for the spin-
     off of LNR through the distribution of all its Common Stock to holders
     of  Lennar Common Stock and Lennar Class B Common Stock.   On  October
     31, 1997,  the  Spin-Off  was  completed.  In the Spin-Off, holders of
     Lennar Common Stock and Lennar Class  B  Common  Stock on September 2,
     1997  received  one  share  of Common Stock for each share  of  Lennar
     Common Stock or Lennar Class B Common Stock held at that date, with the
     option to exchange  any shares of  Common Stock  for shares of Class B
     Common Stock.  MFA received  4,397,930  shares  of Common  Stock  as a
     result of  the  Spin-Off,  which  it elected to exchange for 4,397,930
     shares  of  Class B Common  Stock.   LMM  received 5,500,000 shares of
     Common Stock as a result of the Spin-Off, which it elected to exchange
     for 5,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.  The Foundation received
     30,000 shares of Common Stock as a result  of  the  Spin-Off, which it
     elected to exchange for 30,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

     d)   No  other  person  is known to have the right to receive  or  the
     power to direct the receipt  of  dividends  from, or the proceeds from
     the sale of, the securities.

     e)   Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS,  ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS  OR  RELATIONSHIPS  WITH
          RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     There are no contracts,  arrangements, understandings or relationships
     among the persons named in  Item  2  regarding the 4,397,930 shares of
     Class B Common Stock held by MFA, the  5,500,000  shares  of  Class  B
     Common  Stock held by LMM or the 30,000 shares of Class B Common Stock
     held by the Foundation.
