From Clay Hepler's team at Landman

Capital for land,
on terms that hold.

Not just money on a term sheet — your long-term capital partner on land deals.

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.

Decisions in under 24 hours. One team underwrites, funds, and shares the risk.

How it works

From parcel to funded, in four moves.

01

Submit your parcel

APN, county, state, and purchase price. The agreement is optional.

02

We underwrite it

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

Unquestionable Standards

Ethics, integrity, no gossip. How we do one thing is how we do everything. 11/10 effort.

02

Total Ownership

Results are on me. No blame, complain, or defend. Radical candor and transparency. No egos.

03

Commitment

We commit. We do what we say we are going to do.

04

Competitive Greatness

Be the best even when no one's watching, thrive under pressure, break personal barriers. Plus the must-haves: 10/10 GWC, decide on data not emotion, AI-first, customer-obsessed.

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, and the structure depends on the type of deal. The longer a subdivide sits on the market, the more equity shifts to the funding partner. On larger subdivided equity positions, we may convert the structure to transactional funding instead — a flat 2% fee with no equity split.

Split depends on  entry price · exit price · how involved you want Landman in the transaction

Fundee share steps down and funder share steps up the longer a subdivide sits on the market. Landman funds up to 67.5% of market value on deals held over a longer period.

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.
