HLP Fund Announces $50 Million Gulf Coast Equity Fund Focused on Capital-Light Housing

Miami, FL - October 17, 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 vehicle targeting Tier-1 and Tier-2 metros across the Gulf Coast and Southeast. The strategy emphasizes capital-light housing - single-family rental clusters, modular and manufactured partnerships, and infrastructure joint ventures - underwritten against public REIT and homebuilder benchmarks.
Following multi-year inbound migration to Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, HLP's thesis focuses on submarkets where institutional operators report high occupancy and stable rents.
Buy Box: 3-4 bed / 2+ bath homes of 1,600-2,400 sq ft near employment basins.
Structures: Fee-simple SFR clusters, modular JVs, and selective builder partnerships.
Risk Policy: Flood and wind screening, leverage caps, and underwriting committee oversight.
"The Gulf Coast offers institutional-grade fundamentals - migration, affordability, 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."
For allocators, the HLP Intelligence Hub sources data from SEC filings, FHFA, Census, and REIT supplements, with composite scoring and CSV exports available at https://hlp.fund
