Across the nation, investment firms are stepping up to address one of America’s most urgent challenges: the affordable housing crisis. With traditional funding sources stretched thin, private players bring the agility, capital, and long-term vision needed to deliver safe, attainable rental communities for working families. At the forefront of this movement is DLP Capital, a private real estate investment firm dedicated to transforming lives through the building of thriving communities.

Why Private Investment Firms Matter

Public funding and conventional lenders often face bureaucratic hurdles that slow project timelines and limit scale. In contrast, investment firms like DLP Capital move quickly, deploying real estate-backed capital where it’s needed most. By structuring both debt and equity funds, these firms fill critical financing gaps and accelerate the delivery of new housing units.

Moreover, private investors align financial returns with social impact. They target long-term capital appreciation, passive income, and tax-advantaged wealth for accredited investors—while ensuring each project addresses affordability and community vitality.

How DLP Capital Leads the Way

DLP Capital has financed, developed, constructed, and operates safe, attainable rental housing communities across the U.S. Since 2006, the firm has:

• Invested in over 40,000 residences
• Built a community of more than 3,000 current investors
• Grown assets under management to $5.25 billion
• Generated $487 million in annual revenue in 2023

By leveraging a vertically integrated model—from land acquisition and construction to property management—DLP Capital ensures projects stay on budget and deliver the highest quality living environments for working families.

Structuring Impactful Investments

At its core, DLP Capital offers four income-producing, real estate-backed options for accredited investors:

• Private Debt Funds: Short-term commercial real estate loans that provide predictable current income.
• Equity Funds: Long-term ownership vehicles targeting capital appreciation and cash-on-cash returns.
• Opportunity Funds: Specialized pools focused on value-add and developmental projects with community impact goals.
• Elite Membership Programs: A platform for real estate entrepreneurs to scale operations using the DLP Elite Execution System.

Building Thriving Communities

Each project funded by DLP Capital is designed around affordability, safety, and quality of life amenities—from green spaces and playgrounds to energy-efficient design and on-site services. By financing mixed-income developments, private investment firms foster economic diversity and social cohesion.

Residents benefit from well-maintained properties and access to job training programs, childcare partnerships, and local small-business incubators. The ripple effect strengthens neighborhoods and creates a sustainable path out of housing insecurity.

The Investor Advantage

When you invest with DLP Capital, you’re not just seeking financial returns—you’re making a real difference in the lives of working Americans. Key benefits include:

• Passive Income: Regular distributions from debt and equity positions.
• Tax Advantages: Depreciation and other real estate incentives help reduce taxable income.
• Portfolio Diversification: Real estate-backed assets reduce volatility compared to pure equity markets.
• Social Impact: Directly combat the affordable housing shortage and uplift communities.

Why DLP Capital Stands Out

With over 20,000 closed transactions totaling more than $6 billion, DLP Capital’s track record spans all market cycles. Founder and CEO Don Wenner has guided the firm to 12 consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing U.S. companies—testament to the strength of its investment strategies and operational excellence.

The firm’s hands-on approach, combined with its proprietary DLP Elite Execution System, empowers partners and entrepreneurs to scale high-growth real estate businesses that generate jobs and foster prosperity.
