The firm

Every real estate opportunity begins with the land. We built American Capital Edge on that idea in 2017, and nine years of compounded execution has proven it out. One discipline. One edge.

Investment strategies

Four disciplines. One operator.

01 · Cash flow

Yield.

Agricultural leases, grazing rights, and income-producing parcels underwritten for predictable distributions and downside-protected entry pricing.

Row crop Grazing Tree nuts
02 · Private credit

Lending.

We acquire the land, then originate owner-financed notes to retail buyers outside conventional credit boxes. Every loan is backed by first-position deed of trust, serviced in-house.

Sourced directly from motivated sellers. Repositioned with title, survey, and entitlement work. Placed with developers, builders, and investors at a cleaner basis.

Value-add.

Select parcels advanced through rezoning, infrastructure, and ground-up construction, including hospitality positions on the Oaxacan Pacific coast.

Rezoning Ground-up Hospitality
For property owners

We buy land cash.

Raw land, agricultural acreage, parking lots, older homes, and commercial or industrial buildings ripe for redevelopment. If the land drives the value of your property in one of our markets, we move quickly. Direct to principal. No broker required. No chain of buyers. We underwrite, we close, we take title.

  1. Submit your property

    Address or APN, lot size, county. That is enough to get a conversation started. Bilingual intake in English and Spanish.

  2. We underwrite within 48 hours

    Title pull, market comps, highest-and-best-use analysis. If we can price it, you get a written cash offer.

  3. Cash close on your timeline

    Escrow at your title company of choice. You pick the close date. We fund, we take title, you walk away paid.

Closing partners

Every transaction closes at a major U.S. title company. Escrow, title insurance, and recording handled end to end across all five markets.
