OUR APPROACH
Modern Walkable Communities
The mind-set of the modern home buyer has shifted. People aren’t satisfied with isolated subdivisions and a car-dependent lifestyle. Home buyers in the 21st century want smart homes in communities with great mobility choices–from streetcars to shared cars. They seek public spaces that encourage neighborly relationships and that reflect the inherent optimism of good design. They want their community to share a commitment to great schools, safe parks, and healthy, sustainable living options.
Long Haul Capital Group was formed to harness long-term capital and meet demand for this new iteration of the American Dream.
For investors seeking sustainable, long-term growth, there is no better opportunity.
OUR SOLUTION
Smart Growth Mortgages™
Smart Growth Mortgages are a mortgage innovation. Long Haul Capital Group recognizes that, when families spend less on transportation and energy, they have more income to put toward a home. So we created the Smart Growth Mortgage so home buyers can afford homes that give them the lifestyle they want and reduce their risk of default.
With Smart Growth Mortgages, we can deliver on increasing demand and improve confidence for buyers.
Intra-City Rail
Intra-City rail (street cars and light rail) are key to creating modern, walkable communities. When neighborhoods and communities are connected by rail, the cost and environmental impact of transportation decrease significantly.
Powered by renewable electricity, intra-city rail solutions offer convenient and clean mobility for residents, and create many new opportunities for developers.
District Infrastructure
As we meet this increasing demand for walkable communities, we will support developers in providing sustainable energy, water, and connectivity services through standardized developer financing.
Standardized financing allows new communities to use shared, district-scale infrastructure to provide best-in-class sustainability at an affordable price.
