Overview

Investment Overview

GLH Investment Fund is a residential real estate development fund focused on building 2,000 single-family homes across Cleveland, Ohio and its surrounding markets. The project is anchored by strategic partnerships with the City of Cleveland that provide access to land for $1, a 15-year transferable tax abatement, and a tax grant of up to 20% of build costs, giving GLH a substantial structural advantage over market-rate developers. GLH has already secured 90% of total construction capital and is raising the remaining 10% to initiate the next development tranche, offering investors a short-duration, income-oriented vehicle with quarterly distributions and a defined 12-month term.

Why This Opportunity

  • Sponsor-city partnership: Direct relationships with Cleveland's mayor and city council position GLH as the preferred developer for this 2,000-home initiative, securing priority land access and financial incentives unavailable to market-rate developers

  • Structural cost advantage: Land secured for $1 per parcel from the City of Cleveland, creating an embedded margin that market-rate developers cannot replicate

  • 15-year transferable tax abatement: Each home built receives a 15-year tax abatement that transfers to the end buyer, significantly reducing ongoing property tax costs and increasing buyer demand and resale velocity

  • Tax grant: Up to 20% of build cost per home covered by city tax grant, activating at 80% completion

  • Rapid build cycle: Construction partnership delivers single-family homes in 8 weeks per home, supporting fast capital turnover and consistent deliverables

  • Quality assurance: Every home delivered with a 24-month builder warranty

  • Already 90% funded: GLH has secured 90% of total construction capital with the remaining 10% representing the current raise

  • Multiple exit strategies: Primary strategy is retail sale to individual buyers with 100% financing available. Contingency strategies include bulk institutional sales (relationships established with Crestlight, BlackRock, Blackstone) and rental conversion yielding projected 9-12% cash-on-cash returns

  • Tiered annual returns: 10% preferred return in Year 1, 11% in Year 2, 12% in Year 3

  • Projected returns: 12.1% target return with a 1.12x equity multiple over a 12-month hold
