Yes. LandShake Capital Partners is a direct funder. A direct funder funds transactions from their own private capital sources. Direct funders also approve all deals internally allowing for a quicker process.

LandShake provides acquisition capital for the land purchase. Deal economics are agreed upon upfront and documented per transaction. The land operator manages the project and retains the remaining upside based on the agreed structure.

LandShake provides acquisition capital through private funding agreements designed specifically for land operators. As a land operator, you remain in control of the deal—sourcing, acquisition, marketing, and disposition. We provide capital and collaborate as actively or passively as you prefer.

How It Works

• You source and secure a land deal
• We review the deal and agree on funding terms
• LandShake funds the acquisition
• You manage the execution and sale
• Proceeds are distributed per the agreed structure

See Deal Funding (Deal Box) page for more information. 

LandShake provides capital for your deal in exchange for a fixed return, while you keep all remaining net profits based on the holding period. Unlike a traditional loan, there’s no guaranteed repayment obligation—our return is tied to the success of the deal. This equity-based model puts more upside in your hands and keeps our incentives aligned with yours.

We will consider acquisitions between $15,000 – $100,000 purchase price. Typical land investments deals that we funds have a 2-5 month max turnover, and are between the $25,000 – $75,000 purchase price.

We require a minimum net profit of $7,000 or a 25% return on total funded purchase amount (whichever is greater).

No, unfortunately. This allows us to fund your future deals!

All upfront marketing costs to acquire the property will be covered by the deal finder (you). For example, direct mail, and other marketing acquisition costs. LandShake Capital Partners will split the costs with you to sell the property (legal attorney, agent fees, other closing costs). 

Note: we will review the costs during our contract review to make sure it works for both of us.

Yes, we require we work with a title company or land attorney. If you are working with a local land agent, title company or land use consultant we are more likely to fund your deal.

Yes. However, we only fund minor subdivision projects (when subdividing the parent land into children parcels it must be 5 or less parcels). Subdivide profit splits are negotiable case by case.
