We're the funding arm of Clay Hepler's land investing firm. Bring us a parcel. We joint-venture, carry the capital, and share the upside on a simple sliding scale.

02

We review every submission against comps, exit, and price-to-value.

03

A decision in under 24 hours

You hear back within a day. Then we book a call to walk the numbers.

04

We fund. You close.

Capital hits the table. The split follows your deal's schedule.

Our core values

How Clay Hepler's team shows up.

Landman Capital is built by operators who fund the way they'd want to be funded. These are the standards every deal is held to.

01

Speed to lead

A funding decision in under 24 hours. When a deal is live, hours matter, and we move at your pace.

02

Communication

Direct access to the team that funds the deal. No account managers, no black box, no waiting for a callback.

03

Operational expertise

We run land deals ourselves. You get a partner who knows brokerage, surveys, perc tests, and exits firsthand.

04

Integrity

Clear terms from day one and a handshake we stand behind. The split is the split, and we say what we mean.

The sliding scale

Three ways we partner on a deal.

It depends on who operates and what kind of deal it is. In every case, the longer it's held, the more the split moves toward capital.

Floor
Under $50K

Not funded. We don't take purchase prices below $50,000.

$50K – $100K
Standard terms

Splits follow the three schedules below by who operates and what kind of deal it is.

$100K and up
Equity may shift

Depending on the ratio, we may adjust the split — less capital in the deal or a different price-to-value. Funded up to 65% of market value.

Your share Landman Capital share Thresholds run from the funding date.
01 When we operate $50K–$100K

We run the flip as your funding partner and carry the operational load. The split starts even and steps toward capital at each threshold, reaching zero after 12 months.

03 Subdivides Any size

Subdivides run on a different curve: an even split through the work window, the larger share to the partner once it lands, then a hard cutoff at 12 months.

Financing fees still apply

Partner share rises from 50% to 75% at the 8-month mark, then drops to 0% equity after 12 months, with financing fees still owed.

Transactional · Double-close

Transactional funding

Fast in-and-out funding, no equity split. Just a flat financing fee instead.

Ideal for double-closes and quick assignments where you want capital in and out without sharing the upside.

$100K and up

Larger deals

Above $100K the split may shift with the ratio: less capital in the deal, or a different price-to-value.

We'll walk through the structure with you on a call before anything is signed.

Questions

The details, up front.

Straight answers to what fundees ask most. Still unsure? Submit the parcel. The fastest way to a real answer is a real deal.

What's the minimum deal size?+

A $50,000 purchase price. We don't fund parcels below that floor.

Do I need a purchase agreement to submit?+

No, it's optional. Attach it if you have it. If not, we can still review the deal.

How fast will I hear back?+

Under 24 hours. Every submission gets a funding decision within a day.

What happens as the deal is held longer?+

The split steps toward capital over the hold. Partner equity reaches zero at 12 months (10 for a standard flip you operate). On subdivides, financing fees still apply past the cutoff.

What about deals over $100K?+

Above $100K the split may shift with the ratio: less capital in the deal, or a different price-to-value. We fund up to 65% of market value.
