LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. as of September 30, 2011

LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: RIT) announces its portfolio composition as of September 30, 2011.

Investment Objective: The Fund seeks high current income as a primary objective and capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

* Portfolio holdings and weightings are historical and are presented here for informational purposes only. They are subject to change at any time.

** The difference between total assets and net assets, if any, is due primarily to the Fund’s use of borrowings; net assets do not include borrowings. The Fund may employ leverage in the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements and/or other instruments. When the Fund engages in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s portfolio, the value of the Fund will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded.

*** Percentages are based on total assets.

**** Pursuant to its managed distribution policy, the Fund intends to make regular monthly distributions to shareholders of its common stock at a fixed rate per common share, which may be adjusted from time to time by the Fund's Board of Directors. Under the Fund's managed distribution policy, if, for any monthly distribution, the total of net investment income and net realized capital gain is less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets (and will constitute a "return of capital"). The Board of Directors may terminate the managed distribution policy at any time, including when certain events would make part of any return of capital taxable to shareholders. Any such termination could have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund's shares.

LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc., serves as the Fund's investment manager and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal. Investment return and the value of shares will fluctuate. Data and commentary provided in this press release are for informational purposes only. Legg Mason and its affiliates do not engage in selling shares of the Fund.
