Miami, FL — October 21, 2025 — HLP Fund (marketing name for Midwest Residential Growth Fund I LLC) announced the launch of the Gulf Coast Equity Fund, a $50 million private investment vehicle focused on capital-light housing across the Southeast and Gulf Coast. The Fund invests in single-family rental clusters, modular housing partnerships, and infrastructure joint ventures benchmarked to public REIT and homebuilder standards.
Following strong inbound migration to Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, HLP’s thesis emphasizes affordability, durable rent growth, and institutional-grade fundamentals.
Buy Box: 3–4 bedroom homes, 1,600–2,400 square feet, near employment basins.
Structures: Fee-simple SFR clusters, modular JVs, and selective builder partnerships.
Risk Policy: Flood and wind screening, leverage caps, committee underwriting.
“The Gulf Coast offers institutional-grade fundamentals—migration, affordability, and high occupancy—at a fraction of the basis seen in primary metros,” said Rob Ellis, Managing Partner of HLP Fund. “Our data-first approach gives allocators transparency comparable to public markets with private-market alignment.”
The Fund’s Intelligence Hub aggregates data from FHFA, Census, and REIT filings to provide allocators transparency into affordability, rent-to-price ratios, and migration velocity across the region.
