Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2025 Balance Sheet Highlights, page 2 1. We note that you present, net debt to capitalization of 41.2%. Please reconcile net debt to the appropriate GAAP figure. In addition, ensure that you present for each applicable period a ratio calculated using the most directly comparable GAAP measures. See Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Regulation S-K and Question 102.10 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Response     We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and will revise our disclosure in future filings to provide a reconciliation of net debt to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, total debt (notes payable), and net debt to capital ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, debt to capital ratio. Additionally, for each period presented, we will include the comparable GAAP-based ratio to ensure alignment with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Regulation S-K and related Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations guidance. An example of our revised disclosure format is as follows: Net Debt to Capital Ratio Reconciliation The following table reconciles net debt to capital ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) to debt to capital ratio, which is the GAAP financial measure that our management believes to be most directly comparable (dollars in thousands):   Year Ended December 31,    2024 2023 Total debt (Notes payable) $ 1,481  $ 1,248  Total equity 2,037  1,856  Total capital 3,518  3,104  Debt to capital ratio 42.1  % 40.2  % Total debt (Notes payable) 1,481  1,248  Less: Cash and cash equivalents 53  49  Net debt 1,428  1,199  Total equity 2,037  1,856  Total net capital 3,465  3,055  Net debt to capital ratio (1) 41.2  % 39.2  % (1) Net debt to capital ratio is calculated as net debt (which is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) divided by net debt plus total equity. Full Year 2025 Outlook, page 2 (1) We note that you disclose full year 2025 guidance for the non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Gross Margin percentage, without providing a reconciliation to the most directly related GAAP measure.

Refer also to Questions 102.10 of the C&DIs for Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Response     We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and will provide the following explanation in future filings. “Gross margin % of 23.2% - 24.2% adjusted for estimated capitalized interest and estimated purchase accounting of 2.25% - 2.75%, which results in an adjusted gross margin % of 25.5%. - 27.0%.” * * * * * If you have any questions with respect to the foregoing or if any additional supplemental information is required by the Staff, please contact Tim Taylor of Baker Botts L.L.P. at (713) 229-1184 or Charles Merdian, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, at (281) 362-8998, ex. 2535.

 While we understand that your business model focus may be different from your competitors, it remains unclear why the homebuilding backlog data that you provide at the consolidated level would not also be useful information for investors at the reportable segment level. To the extent that the information is readily available, please provide the homebuilding backlog data at the reportable segment level in addition to the consolidated level.

Response

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment concerning providing our homebuilding backlog data at the operating segment level. As discussed on our telephone call with the Staff on September 6, 2018, we hereby confirm that while we report our homebuilding backlog data at the consolidated level, we currently do not provide or use backlog data at any level of management for the assessment of our business, including our operating segment level.

If you have any questions with respect to the foregoing or if any additional supplemental information is required by the Staff, please contact Tim Taylor of Baker Botts L.L.P. at (713) 229-1184 or Charles Merdian, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, at (281) 362-8998, ex. 2535.

Filed February 27, 2018

File No. 001-36126

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Set forth below please find the response of LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to a comment received from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission by letter dated August 14, 2018 (the “Comment Letter”), with respect to the above referenced Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Commission on February 27, 2018 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). For your convenience, our response corresponds to the captions and numbering included in the Comment Letter and is prefaced by the text of the Staff’s comment in italicized text.

Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations

Results of Operations, page 32

1.

 We note that you have expanded your reportable segments to include your six operating segments. Please consider providing the homebuilding data presented on page 37 for each of your operating segments in order to allow an investor to better understand and analyze your reported and future operating results and financial condition. In addition, we note a discussion of your monthly absorption rates during your earnings conference calls. Please also consider providing this data at your operating segment level. Refer to Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S-K along with Section 501.12.b.1. of the Financial Reporting Codification for guidance.

Response

We have considered providing the homebuilding data presented on page 37 of the 2017 Form 10-K for each of our operating segments in order to allow an investor to better understand and analyze our reported and future operating results and financial condition, as well as, providing monthly absorption by our operating segment level.  Based on our review and consideration of Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S-K with Section 501.12.b.1. of the Financial Reporting Codification for guidance, we respectfully do not believe such disclosure is material to our investors or potential investors, or is helpful in understanding our results of operations, as explained below.

•

 Our operating model focuses primarily on move-in ready homes and, as such, we believe that the relevance of our backlog data is generally short-term in nature and not indicative of our future expected closings unlike others within the homebuilding industry, which typically have lengthy backlogs due to building homes with specific customer preferences.

•

 We have disclosed key financial metrics at the operating segment level that we believe are material to our investors or potential investors and helpful in understanding our results of operations within our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”). The key metrics we include at the operating segment level are home sales revenue, homes closed, average sales price and community count.

•

 In addition, we do not manage our business using backlog data at the operating segment level.

For the aforementioned reasons, we do not believe that including backlog data by operating segment in our MD&A will provide our investors or potential investors with a better understanding of our business model and results of operations.

The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment concerning providing monthly absorption rates at the operating segment level. We confirm to the Staff, that we currently intend to provide the average monthly absorption rates by operating segment for comparable periods presented in our future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K, commencing with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

If you have any questions with respect to the foregoing or if any additional supplemental information is required by the Staff, please contact Tim Taylor of Baker Botts L.L.P. at (713) 229-1184 or Charles Merdian, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, at (281) 362-8998, ex. 2535.

Registration Statement on Form S-3

Filed July 2, 2015

File No. 333-205492

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Set forth below please find the responses of LGI Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to comments received from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by letter dated July 14, 2015 (the “Comment Letter”), with respect to the Form S-3 filed with the Commission by the Company on July 2, 2015, File No. 333-205492 (the “Registration Statement”).  For your convenience, each response is prefaced by the text of the Staff’s corresponding comment in italicized text.

We have revised the prospectus included in the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comments and have also made other related revisions and updating changes where appropriate.  We have filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”) with the Commission via EDGAR.  References in this letter to the prospectus are to the prospectus as contained in Amendment No. 1.  Marked copies of Amendment No. 1 showing changes from the initial Registration Statement will be sent via overnight delivery to your attention as well.

The Subsidiary Guarantors, page 4

1.

 We note your disclosure that the debt securities offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus may be guaranteed by one or more subsidiary guarantors. Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X requires every guarantor of a registered security to file the financial statements required for a registrant by Regulation S-X, unless an appropriate exemption applies. Your prospectus includes neither the financial statements of your subsidiary guarantors nor the footnote presenting condensed consolidating

United States Securities and Exchange Commission

Page 2

financial information for your guarantors in your financial statements allowed by Rule 3-10(f) of Regulation S-X. Please revise.

RESPONSE:  The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure contained in the prospectus in Amendment No. 1 on page 11 under the heading “Description of Debt Securities-Guarantees.”

The Company does not currently have any registered debt securities outstanding that are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor and, therefore, is not required currently to provide the financial statements contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.  Until such time as any registered debt securities that are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor are offered and sold under the Registration Statement, the Company will not know (i) which of its subsidiaries will be subsidiary guarantors, (ii) which of its subsidiaries will not be subsidiary guarantors, if any, and (iii) whether the subsidiaries of the Company that are not subsidiary guarantors, if any, are “minor” (as such term is defined in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X).

The Company is aware of its obligations under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and hereby undertakes to file a Current Report on Form 8-K providing any financial statements or footnote disclosures required to be in compliance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X prior to an offering of debt securities that are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor covered by the Registration Statement.

In addition, the Company hereby undertakes that it will include disclosure meeting the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X in its consolidated financial statements in its Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, respectively, when discussing the subsidiary guarantees of the Company’s registered debt securities after any such securities are issued in the future.

Description of Purchase Contracts, page 22

2.

 We note your disclosure that you may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of “debt or equity securities issued by … third parties.” Please note that even if you have an exemption available for the offer and sale of securities of third parties, you must provide information, possibly including financial statement and non-financial statement disclosures, about the issuer of the underlying securities in your registration statement. For further guidance, please see our Securities Act Sections C&DI paragraph 203.03 and the Staff’s no-action letter Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated (June 24, 1996). If you wish to include the third party securities, please give us your analysis why registration under the Securities Act is not required. If you do not wish to offer third party securities underlying purchase contracts, please remove these references from the prospectus.

RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure to eliminate the reference to securities of third parties.  Please see page 22 of the prospectus in Amendment No. 1.

The Company is aware of the requirements of Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration and acknowledges that it will provide a written statement from the Company acknowledging the bullet points on page 2 of the Comment Letter with its written request for acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure

and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

Notwithstanding our comments, in the event you request acceleration of the effective date
of the pending registration statement please provide a written statement from the company
acknowledging that:

 should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the
filing effecti ve, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect
to the filing;

 the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in
declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full r esponsibility for
the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a
defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.

Please refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration.  We will consider a
written request for acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement as confirmation
of the fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of thei r respective responsibilities under
the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed
public offering of the securities specified in the above registration statement.  Please allow
adequate time for us to rev iew any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

 Filed September 30, 2013

 File No. 333-190853

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 Set
forth below are the responses of LGI Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comments contained in the letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated October 3, 2013, with respect to the
above-captioned filing.

 Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company has filed publicly its Amendment
No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) via EDGAR. For your convenience, five marked copies of the Registration Statement will be hand delivered to you to facilitate your review. Furthermore, certain
supplemental information responsive to the Staff’s comment 5 will be hand delivered to you.

 For your convenience, the
Company has repeated in italics the comments and requests for additional information as set forth in the Staff’s comment letter. The Company’s response to each comment or request is set forth immediately below the text of the applicable
comment or request. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

 General

1.
We note your disclosure that you face competition from certain private homebuilders in certain of your markets. Please clarify, at appropriate places throughout the
prospectus, in which markets you face which class of competitors.

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has clarified that it faces competition from certain of its public homebuilder peers and from
private homebuilders, as well as the markets in which the Company faces which class of competitors. Please see pages ii, 1, 141, 144 and 157 of the Registration Statement.

 Explanatory Note, page iii

2.
We note your statement here that “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms, when used in the present tense or prospectively refer to the
Predecessor and the LGI/GTIS Joint Ventures. Please revise this statement, as it does not appear that you use the term in this manner in your prospectus when speaking the present tense, and please refrain from the using the term in this manner, as
it is unnecessarily confusing for investors.

 Response:

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement to clarify that the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms only when used
prospectively refer to the Predecessor and the LGI/GTIS Joint Ventures. Please see page iii of the Registration Statement.

Summary, page one

3.
Please advise as to what consideration was given to using a phrase other than “on a pro forma basis for the Transactions” to indicate that the data you are
referring to includes the LGI/GTIS Joint Ventures. The phrase “for the Transactions” is unclear, particularly in the portion of your prospectus preceding any discussion of the Transactions (that is, before page eight).

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement to delete the phrase “for the Transactions” when
referring to pro forma financial information, and has provided cross-references to “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” where appropriate. Please see pages 1, 68 and 141 of the Registration Statement.

4.
Please refer to comment six of our letter dated September 11, 2013. Your summary and Business sections continue to be highly unbalanced. For example, despite
having noted that you face intense competition from both local and national homebuilders you never mention these companies other than to note your strong financial performance relative to them. While you emphasize affordable locations, you do not
make apparent the distance of your locations from urban centers. You emphasize your “proven ability to expand into new geographic markets, but you have only recently entered markets outside of Texas and Phoenix. Please note that these examples
are not exclusive. Please ensure that your disclosure presents a full and balanced presentation of your strengths, weaknesses, and the risks that your business faces both as a whole and in each of its markets, particularly in light of your continued
expansion plans.

 Response:

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Summary and Business sections of the Registration Statement to present a full and balanced presentation of the Company’s
strengths, weaknesses and the risks the Company faces. Please see pages 1—6 and 141—149 of the Registration Statement.

 Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, page 49

5.
We note your response to prior comment 11. Please expand your pro forma Note (f) to fully explain the nature of preferential return and how such amount was
determined.

 Response:

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and considered both the prior comment 11 and the applicable notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information related to preferential returns.

 Comment 11 in the previous comment letter was related to LGI Investment Fund III, LP, and the commitment made by certain principals of the
Company’s predecessor to exchange shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the value of 1.5 times the non-controlling interests’ investment amount in LGI Investment Fund III, LP in the event of an initial public offering. The
Company considered whether the commitment to the LGI Investment Fund III, LP limited partners represented a preferential return that required the use of the two-class method to appropriately determine the pro forma net income per share. As noted in
the Company’s response to Comment 11 in the previous comment letter, the Company elected an accounting policy to apply method (b) discussed in footnote 17 of ASC 480-10-S99 and to recognize as a dividend, to be deducted from earnings
available to common shareholders, any amount by which the fair value of the Company’s securities issued to the non-controlling interest holders exceeds the fair value of the non-controlling interests given up. Although the IPO valuation and the
underwriting agreement have not been finalized, based on the expected valuation of the Company’s predecessor’s equity in connection with the offering, the Company believes that the LGI Investment Fund III, LP limited partners will not
receive a preferential return and, therefore, there will be no impact on the pro forma net income per share computation.

 The Company will
supplementally provide to the Staff in separate correspondence an analysis of the defined return to the non-controlling interests (1.5 times their initial investment amount) and the multiple expected to be realized by the owners of the
Company’s predecessor, which will be attached thereto as Exhibit A. The Company requests confidential treatment for these materials pursuant to 17 C.F.R. § 200.83. Since the return to be realized by the non-controlling interests is
substantially less than the minimum multiple of equity currently expected to be realized by the owners of the Company’s predecessor, the Company does not believe that there is a preferential return to the non-controlling interests.

 In addition, the Company considered notes (g) and (f) to the pro forma statements of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, which set forth the computation of unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net income per share for the respective periods. The footnote
disclosure for the numerator for the pro forma net income per share computation included a placeholder for undistributed net income attributable to participating securities, if determined to be applicable, related to the restricted stock units to be
granted to certain employees, executives, and non-employee directors. The equity awards to be issued under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan are currently being finalized and it has been determined that the restricted stock units to be
awarded will not have dividend participation rights; consequently, there are no participating securities to be considered in the computation of pro forma net income per share. This line has been deleted from both notes (g) and (f) to the
pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.

6.
We refer you to Note (h) to your pro forma balance sheet. Please separately quantify the amount of the net deferred tax liability related to warranty reserves
and property and equipment and your conversion to a taxable entity. Please fully explain the nature of the adjustment related to warranty reserves. In this regard, as discussed in Note (k), we note the $.7 million pro forma adjustment to
accrued expenses and other liabilities relates to the settlement of accrued liabilities for management and executive bonuses.

Response:

 The Company acknowledges the
Staff’s comment and revised note (h) to the unaudited pro forma balance sheet to include a table showing the individual components of the net deferred tax liability. The table includes a description of the deferred tax assets attributable
to the warranty reserve and the accrued management and executive bonuses to be settled in restricted stock units which are not currently deductible for tax. Please see pages 57 and F-10 of the Registration Statement.

7.
We refer you to Note (i) to your pro forma balance sheet and your intention to make a $4.5 million cash distribution to the equity owners of the entities
comprising your predecessor for estimated income taxes on the results of operations for the period from January 1, 2013 through the closing of this offering. Please revise your pro forma balance sheet to reflect a pro forma adjustment to accrue
for this payment or tell us why this is not necessary.

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has made the following modifications to the notes to the unaudited pro forma balance sheet to
clarify the planned cash distributions to the equity owners of the Company’s predecessor:

 a. Added a table to note
(a) to recap the pro forma adjustments to cash, including the planned cash distribution for estimated income taxes on the results of operations for the period from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013. The Company has recorded the
planned cash distribution for estimated income taxes as use of cash in the pro forma adjustments since the amount will be paid out immediately prior to the offering.

 b. Updated the table at note (i) for the pro forma adjustment to predecessor’s owner’s equity for the planned cash distribution amount.

c. Added disclosure below the table at note (i) to note the amount of additional cash distributions to the owners of the
Company’s predecessor expected for the estimated income taxes on the results of operations for the period from July 1, 2013 through the date of the offering.

 Please see pages 55, 57, 58, F-8, F-10 and F-11 of the Registration Statement.

We re-issue comment 25 of our letter dated September 11, 2013. Please disclose Mr. Vahradian’s interest in the GTIS transaction. We note that
your response to our comment implies that disclosure is not required because Mr. Vahradian’s interest is not “direct”; please note that Item 404(a)(4) of Regulation S-K requires disclosure of the approximate dollar
amount of the related person’s direct or indirect material interest.

 Response:

The Company has determined, and confirmed with GTIS, that Mr. Vahradian’s indirect interest in the GTIS Transaction, by virtue of his equity
interests in the various GTIS entities involved in the GTIS Transaction, is approximately $223,000, or 0.5%, of the total consideration to be paid by the Company to GTIS in the GTIS Transaction. While Mr. Vahradian is a senior managing director
of GTIS, he owns less than a ten percent equity interest in each of the GTIS entities involved in the GTIS Transaction. As a result, the Company has determined that Mr. Vahradian does not have a direct or indirect material interest in the GTIS
Transaction.

Registration Statement on Form S-1

Filed August 28, 2013

CIK No. 0001580670

 Ladies and Gentlemen:

Set forth below are the responses of LGI Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comments contained in the letter from the staff (the
“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated September 11, 2013, with respect to the above-captioned submission.

Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company has filed publicly its Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
(the “Registration Statement”) via EDGAR. For your convenience, five marked copies of the Registration Statement will be hand delivered to you to facilitate your review.

For your convenience, the Company has repeated in italics the comments and requests for additional information as set forth in the
Staff’s comment letter. The Company’s response to each comment or request is set forth immediately below the text of the applicable comment or request. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meanings assigned
to such terms in the Registration Statement.

 General

1.
We have read your response to comment 33 from our letter dated August 6, 2013 as well as your related revised disclosures. We note that you continue to present results of operations and other financial and
operational data throughout this prospectus which aggregates the historical results/data of your predecessor and the LGI/GTIS Joint Ventures. We do not believe your use of this aggregated data in the context of discussing your business and using
this data when using terms like “we”, “our”, and “ours” as you have done in many sections of the prospectus including but not limited to Our Company, Our Competitive Strengths, Our Business and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is not appropriate. We note that it is unclear whether your predecessor or your joint ventures own various properties, or even whether the employees that you discuss in your
Business section are employees of your predecessor or of your joint ventures. Please ensure that references to the “company,” “registrant” or “us,” “we,” or “our” refer to the true predecessor
entity. Further the Explanatory Note definition of terms is confusing and should be removed or revised. We have the following further comments in this regard:

You disclose that you believe the presentation of certain aggregated financial data provides investors with a meaningful comparison of your results of operations and is necessary for investors to understand your
financial condition and results of operations. However, we note that aggregated financial information is not related to the results of operations of your predecessor, the entity for which the information throughout your prospectus should be based.
In this regard, we specifically note that:

•

The information you provide in your audited financial statements as well as in response to prior comment 68, indicates that you did not consolidate the LGI/GTIS Joint Ventures because, in part, other parties shared
in the power to direct the activities of the LGI/GTIS Joint Ventures that most significantly impact their economic performance. It therefore is not appropriate to provide financial data which implies that you had such power; and

•

The information you have provided under the section, “Factors Affecting Comparability” on page 69 further highlights why the presentation of aggregated information is not appropriate.

•

Please remove all discussions of results of operations and other financial and operational data which have provided on an aggregated basis. To the extent you believe the presentation of certain financial and
operational data may be meaningful on a pro forma basis, please ensure that information is presented in the context of your current pro forma financial information; and

•

Please revise your disclosures throughout the prospectus, including, but not limited to, results of operations and other financial and operational data presented under Our Company, Our Competitive Strengths, Our
Business and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to present and discuss this information as it relates to your predecessor.

Response:

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised the Registration Statement to remove results of operations and other financial and operational data presented on an aggregate basis.

Please clarify whether you face competition primarily from public companies. If not, please revise your prospectus throughout to make this clear, placing statements about public peer companies into this larger

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement to clarify that the Company primarily faces competition from its
public homebuilder peers; while in certain of its markets, the Company also faces competition from certain private homebuilders. Please see pages ii, one and 139 of the Registration Statement.

We note the supplemental information you have provided for your statements on pages one, five, 63, 137, and 144, that you offer “superior value.” It is unclear how the information you have provided supports
this statement. Please provide us with support for this statement or remove it.

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and revised the Summary and Business sections of the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see pages
one, five, 66, 139 and 146 of the Registration Statement.

4.
We note your response to comment eight of our letter dated August 6, 2013. Please revise your statements on pages two, four, five, 138, 142, and 144 to make more apparent the distance between metropolitan
centers and your communities. Your current language, with the ambiguous word “proximity,” could be read to imply that your communities are located much closer to the urban centers of your various markets than they actually are.

 Response:

 The Company
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and revised the Summary and Business sections of the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see pages two, four, five, 140, 144 and 146 of the Registration Statement.

5.
Please similarly revise your references to your “strong land position.” You state that the company’s statement is based on the fact that it has seven years of land supply. The phrase “strong land
position” does not read as a statement of the size of your potential inventory, but rather a qualitative statement regarding the land your hold and its desirability.

Response:

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and revised the Summary and Business sections of the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see pages five, 67, 139 and 146 of the Registration Statement.

6.
We re-issue comment nine of our letter dated August 6, 2013. Your summary still appears unbalanced, as does your Business section. In addition, your statement on page four that “[if] housing demand and
population growth slows in [the states in which you operate], [you] may not realize a competitive advantage as a result of the markets in which we focus” is unclear. As you only compete in these markets, slowing housing demand and population
growth would affect all of your competitors.

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Summary and Business sections of the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see pages
three, four, 141, 142, 144 and 145 of the Registration Statement.

 Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, page 49

General

7.
Please address the following comments as they relate to your pro forma financial information presented on pages F-3 through F-13. Since the information presented on pages F-3 through F-13 and pages 49 through 59
appear duplicative, please consider presenting this pro forma financial information only once.

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has also addressed the comments below as they relate to the pro forma financial information presented on
pages F-3 - F-17 of the Registration Statement. In light of the following factors, the Company prefers to present the pro forma financial information in both the non-financial statement pages and in the financial statement pages of the Registration
Statement. The Company believes that since pro forma information is referred to throughout the prospectus, including the full pro forma financial information in both the body of the prospectus and in the financial pages will make it easier for
potential investors to find the information. In addition, the Company believes that certain potential investors prefer to have the information in the body of the prospectus, while other potential investors prefer to have the information in the
financial pages.

8.
Where you have more than one pro forma adjustment impacting a line item in your pro forma financial statements, please provide additional information so that a reader can fully understand the nature of the adjustment
and how such adjustment was calculated. For instance, please disclose the components that make up the $1,983 adjustment to deferred tax liabilities, net as of June 30, 2013. While you have referenced notes (b) and (d), we note that the
fourth bullet in note (b) discusses a $31,000 deferred tax liability adjustment and note (d) discusses a $26,000 net deferred income tax liability. These two adjustments do not equate to the $1,983 adjustment nor do these footnotes explain
how such adjustments were calculated.

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the notes to the pro forma financial statements to assign a note reference to each of the
items discussed in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements. In addition, the Company believes it has provided sufficient information to assist the reader in understanding the nature and amounts of the pro forma adjustments. The
Company also clarified how the pro forma amounts were calculated. Please see pages 53 - 62 and F-7 to F-17 of the Registration Statement.

We note your response to prior comment 21. We have the following comments on your revised pro forma financial information.

•

You disclose that your pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 do not reflect an increase in the cost of sales associated with the step
up of the real estate inventory since the step up does not have a continuing impact on the results of your operations due to the short term (less than one year) impact on your financial performance. Please note that the short term nature of the
impact does not make the adjustment non-recurring. As such, please revise your pro forma statement of operations to reflect the increase in cost of sales related to the step-up of the real estate inventory;

Response:

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and continues to believe that a pro forma adjustment in the statement of operations to reflect an increase in the cost of sales associated with the step up of the real estate inventory does not provide additional meaningful disclosure to
assist investors’ understanding of the impact of the GTIS Transaction.

 The Company considered the guidance in the Division of Corporate Finance
– Financial Reporting Manual, Topic 3230.4, which states that pro forma adjustments should give effect to events that are expected to have a continuing impact. Further, it states that material non-recurring charges or credits and related tax
effects which result directly from the transaction and which will be included in the income of the registrant within the next 12 months following the transaction should not be included in the pro forma income statement, but should be disclosed in a
note to clearly indicate that they were not included.

 The concept of “continuing impact” also was the subject of recent SEC staff remarks at
the 2012 AICPA Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments (2012 AICPA Conference), where the Company understands that SEC staff members clarified that the historical 12-month rule of thumb to evaluate the continuing impact criterion continues
to be appropriate. Notwithstanding the 12-month rule of thumb, the Company understands there may be limited circumstances where it would be appropriate to reflect a pro forma adjustment for items that affect the pro forma income statement for a
period of less than 12 months and the evaluation will depend on the individual facts and circumstances. Included below is an excerpt from the minutes of the March 2013 meeting with SEC Regulations Committee and the SEC staff:

The Committee noted that at the 2012 AICPA Conference, the Division’s staff noted that there appeared to be a handful of items where the
twelve month rule of thumb used to evaluate the continuing impact criterion may not work very well and that for those items, the staff was considering whether the use of a more than one time view of continuing impact may better reflect the outcomes
of transactions to which pro forma effect is being given.

 Securities and Exchange Commission

 Todd Hardiman confirmed that the Division’s staff has not issued additional guidance. He
reiterated the encouragement provided at the 2012 AICPA Conference for registrants to contact the Division of Corporation Finance’s Office of Chief Accountant if they have a live fact pattern where the different views of what constitutes
continuing impact would have a material impact to their pro forma financial statements.

 For the reasons discussed below, the Company believes that a pro
forma adjustment to reflect an increase in historical cost of sales does not meet the continuing impact criterion. The Company believes that its approach is consistent with the guidance in the Financial Reporting Manual and given both (1) the
frequency of inventory turnover and (2) that there is no direct relationship between the inventory reflected on the balance sheet at June 30, 2013 compared to the inventory reflected on the balance sheet as of January 1, 2012 or
inventory reflected through cost of sales for completed home sales during 2012. The Company also believes that it has included appropriate disclosure that quantifies the amount of the inventory step up and that the step up has not been included as a
pro forma adjustment to historical cost of sales.

 As noted in Note (c) of the Notes to the Unaudited Pro forma Balance Sheet at pages 54 and F-8 of
the Registration Statement, the $7.1 million of the $7.2 million step up to the cost basis of the joint ventures’ combined real estate inventory is expected to be reflected in cost of sales over the 12-month period following the transaction
date. The remaining $75,000 will be recognized in the following year. The timing of these adjustments to cost of sales was estimated based on the forecasted sale of homes in the respective communities. Of the $7.2 million step-up amount,
approximately $6.2 million is attributable to homes in progress, completed homes and sales offices and the remainder of $1 million is attributable to finished lots. The Company believes the forecast is rea

 Please expand your pro forma footnotes to provide additional details regarding the

example, you indicate that for your pro forma income tax adjustment you have
assumed you will qualify for the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD).
Please expand your disclosures to provide your basis for this assumption and clarify
how this adjustment is factually supportable; and

 We note you have added a pro forma adjustment t o eliminate compensation to
Thomas Lipar because he will perform limited duties at a reduced level of
compensation under a consulting agreement subsequent to this offering.  Since we
assume that the compensation historic ally paid to Mr. Lipar was commensur ate with
the duties he performed, please revise to eliminate this adjustment.

the proximity of the contributions made by the limited partners to LGI Investment Fund

19. We have read your response to comment 37 from our letter dated August 6, 2013 and

 You disclose on page 66 that based on your business model you believe that the
number of completed homes in inventory and  homes in progress in inventory at the
end of a reporting period provide more meaningful information to investors than
cancellation rates, conversion rates, new orders and backlog.  However, we  continue
to believe the above information is relevant to an investors understanding of your
business.  Please revise your filing to discuss new orders (units and aggregated dollar
value), cancellation rates, and backlog (units, average sales price and agg regated
dollar value) for each period and include a discussion for any material changes in this
data period over period.  Please consider providing this information in a tabular
presentation. Refer to Section 501.2 of the Financial Reporting Codification.  Please
also provide this information in your Selected Financial Data;

 You state that the impact of raw material prices on the cost of goods sold period over
period was not material.  However, based on your disclosure on pages 74 and 76
changes in raw ma terials did impact your margins.  Please quantify the increase in
raw material so that an investor can assess the impact of raw material increases on
your margins; and

 Please discuss Predecessor gross margin, operating income and net income for each
period presented.

related to the construction of the home as we assume these costs are capitalized to real

 Please supplementally provide supporting documentation for all of the statistical and similar disclosure you make in your prospectus, particularly
with regard to the business performance of your peers. Please ensure that the manner in which your peer group was selected and the group of comparators you refer to is clear from your supplemental response. For example, we refer you to the
statements on page one and throughout your prospectus, among others, to the effect that: you are one of the nation’s fastest growing homebuilders; that you have industry-leading build times; that you had the highest revenue, closings growth,
return of

assets, asset turnover, and closings per active community of public homebuilders. Please provide necessary context (for example, the number of homes in each of your active communities versus your
comparator group.) Please mark the supporting documents to show precisely the location of each piece of information on which you are relying for these and similar statements in your prospectus.

Response:

 In response to the
Staff’s comment, the Company will supplementally provide to the Staff in separate correspondence supporting documentation attached thereto as Exhibit B.

8.
Please provide similar substantiation for the more qualitative statements throughout your prospectus, such as, for example: that you offer superior value; that you
have a strong land position; that your markets are attractive; that unlike many of your competitors, you acquire finished lots and raw land in affordable locations with proximity to major thoroughfares, retail districts and centers of business; that
your print and digital advertising is innovative; and so forth.

 Response:

The Company believes that its focus on lots and land further away from city centers allows the Company to offer potential homebuyers a superior value on
homes. The Company generally acquires lots and land further away from the center of metropolitan areas and purchases lots and land at prices ranging from $9,000 to $25,000 per acre. Based on its discussions with land brokers and others in the real
estate market, the Company believes its competitors typically acquire similar acreage closer to city centers at higher prices. In addition, the Company targets affordable land acquisitions with proximity to major thoroughfares, retail districts and
centers of business. The Company will supplementally provide to the Staff in separate correspondence supporting documentation attached thereto as Exhibit C for the above statements. The Company requests confidential treatment for these
materials pursuant to 17 C.F.R. § 200.83.

 As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned or controlled 9,962 lots. The Company believes it
has a strong land position because it has more than seven years of land supply, based on the lots that it owned or controlled as of June 30, 2013 and its home closings for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company believes its markets are attractive because many of the Company’s existing markets, including Austin, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth,
Phoenix and San Antonio, are ranked among the top 10 markets for fastest population growth in the United States from 2000 to 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting, LLC
(“JBREC”), all of the Company’s existing markets, except for San Antonio, experienced job growth above the national average in the twelve months ended June 30, 2013, while San Antonio matched the national average. According to
JBREC, all of the Company’s markets experienced increased new homes sales in the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

 The Company believes that it makes extensive use of advertising because of its direct mailing program.
Each week, the Company sends an average of 12,000 direct mailings to renters within a 25-mile radius of each of its active communities. The Company is not aware of any of its competitors that employ a direct mailing program on this scale. The
Company also believes this direct mailing program aimed at renters of apartments and single-family homes allows the Company to more specifically target entry level homebuyers.

 The Company employs an even-flow construction methodology, which provides a consistent flow of work for its subcontractors. The Company believes this methodology results in favorable relationships with
subcontractors who prefer the stability of this method. The Company will supplementally provide to the Staff in separate correspondence supporting documentation attached thereto as Exhibit C for these statements. The Company requests
confidential treatment for these materials pursuant to 17 C.F.R. § 200.83.

 The Company has modified the disclosure in the Registration
Statement relating to certain of these qualitative statements. Please see pages 2, 3, 138, 140 and 146 of the Registration Statement.

Please ensure that the information you include in your summary is balanced. To the extent that you continue to cite competitive strengths in your summary, please
review each one and revise as necessary to provide balancing information rather than a simple list of risk factors at the end of this section.

 The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Summary
section of the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see pages 4 and 142-143 of the Registration Statement.

10.
Please identify those aspects of the offering and your company that are most significant, and highlight these points in plain, clear language. The summary should

 Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. While the Summary section of the Registration Statement was a condensed description of the
Company’s business, competitive strengths and strategy in the Business section, the Company has further condensed the information in the Summary section to focus on the aspects of the offering and the Company that are most significant. Please
see pages 1-7 of the Registration Statement.

29. Please ensure that you include sufficient information to provide meaningful context to
your disclosure.  For example, on page 68 you discuss how much of your operating

While you include the Market Opportunity section  following MD&A which has intensive
discussion of possible trends in each of the markets you operate in, you do not give any
indication of management’s views regarding these trends.  Similarly, while you discuss
your expectation to reach 24 active communit ies as of December 31, 2013, no indication

has not materially affected your gross margins.  Please refer to Section III.B.4 of SEC
