The firm

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

What we do

Four disciplines, one operator

01 · Working land

Hold

Farmland and grazing parcels we buy and hold, leased to growers and ranchers for steady income.

Row crop Grazing Tree nuts
02 · Flexible terms

Installments

We sell parcels we own directly to buyers on installment terms, so people who don't fit a bank's checklist can still own land. Every sale is handled in-house.

Pay over time No bank needed Direct to buyer
03 · Buy & sell

Resell

We buy directly from owners, clear up title, survey, and entitlements, and resell to developers and builders ready to put the land to use.

Direct source Title cleared Developer-ready
04 · Development

Develop

Select parcels we take through rezoning, infrastructure, and ground-up construction, including hospitality projects 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.

Common questions

For property owners

Do I need a broker?

No. Direct to principal. No listing, no showings, no commission drawn from your proceeds. If a broker already represents you, we work the transaction through them.

Will I get market value?

Our pricing is a wholesale-to-investor basis in exchange for speed, certainty, and an all-cash close with no contingencies. A conventional listing may realize a higher headline number if you can carry the property through a six-to-eighteen-month cycle with financed buyers and the associated fall-through risk. We tell you which path fits the parcel.

What if there's a lien or title issue?

Routine. Clouded title, unpaid taxes, probate, boundary disputes, partial interests. We close through all of it.

What do you buy?

Raw land, agricultural acreage, and infill lots. Ranch and grazing parcels. Parking lots and older homes on redevelopable sites. Commercial and industrial buildings where the land drives the value. Newer single-family and condos sit outside our mandate.

How does the 48-hour underwriting work?

Title pull, market comps, highest-and-best-use analysis, run internally. Two business days from a complete submission, you receive a written cash offer or a direct explanation of why we passed.

What does the close cost me?

Nothing out of pocket. Standard buyer-side closing costs are handled at the title company. Proceeds wire at recording.
