We are first and foremost real estate owners and operators that leverage technology to better serve our communities and investors.  We launched HLC Direct in order to grant access to our institutional quality real estate investments, and to do so directly with HLC Equity as the sponsor, without any third parties. Conversely, most real estate equity crowdfunding websites are third party capital raisers who do not directly own and operate real estate, nor do they typically invest their own capital into the transactions that they promote. Here are our key differentiators from typical real estate crowdfunding websites:

HLC Equity targets core markets with attractive demographic trends and a healthy demand/supply ratio.

HLC Equity invests in a wide range of real estate assets, with various risk/reward features. We most often invest in value-add, core, and core plus transactions. Our primary focus is cash flowing multifamily properties, necessity-based retail assets with long term leases and credit tenants, and other opportunistic ventures are considered on a deal by deal basis.

Layers (www.layerslife.com) is an HLC Equity-backed operating company that serves as an innovative property management company, offering residents flexible living options with serviced and conventional apartments, community events, and additional services. Beyond providing an exceptional customer experience for our residents, Layers also aims to significantly improve property performance through its proprietary operating systems. When HLC Equity invests in a deal that will be managed by Layers, it means that HLC Equity investors will benefit from this innovative property management model.
