FAQ

Investing in the United States offers numerous advantages, particularly in the real estate sector, which remains highly dynamic in fast-growing states like Texas and Nevada. This trend has accelerated since the post-COVID era, as companies—especially in the tech industry—have been relocating from high-cost states like California and New York to the Sunbelt region. This migration has fueled job creation and significantly increased housing demand, making these areas particularly attractive for investors.

Additionally, land prices in the U.S. naturally appreciate due to a deep market with abundant undeveloped land. In contrast, Europe faces land saturation and limited supply, making large-scale projects more challenging. The administrative process in the U.S. is also more efficient, with faster permit approvals compared to France, where large construction projects—especially high-rise developments—often involve lengthy and costly bureaucratic hurdles.

Real estate investments in the U.S. tend to offer higher returns, supported by a more favorable tax system than in France. In high-growth states, a chronic housing shortage further drives property value appreciation.

Finally, investing in the U.S. provides monetary diversification through the strength and stability of the U.S. dollar, while also offering a secure legal framework that ensures strong property rights protection.

We follow a rigorous methodology to select land for our projects, leveraging an in-depth analysis of over 120 criteria. This approach allows us to identify high-value opportunities while ensuring compliance with local urban planning and development policies. As a proptech company, we maximize the use of open data on landowners, granting us exclusive access to off-market properties that often offer better profitability.

Our selection process begins with a large-scale analysis of all 3,216 U.S. counties, using key indicators such as 10-year population growth, the number of properties sold and listed, and the average resale time. By analyzing data from sources like Zillow and Redfin, we narrow down our focus to approximately 100 counties where demand is strong, supply is limited, and properties sell quickly.

Once we’ve identified the most promising counties, we gather ownership data and apply a thorough evaluation process, assessing over 100,000 land parcels per month. Each plot is scored based on factors such as topography, accessibility, resilience to natural disasters, ownership status, and profitability potential. We prioritize A- and B-rated plots located in dynamic suburban areas with strong infrastructure connectivity. Additionally, selected lands must align with our ESG objectives, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring easy development—favoring flat, sparsely wooded plots.

We make strategic purchase offers based on estimated land value, securing properties at below-market prices to ensure significant profit margins. For instance, a land parcel valued at $100,000 may receive an offer in the range of $30,000 to $40,000. This approach guarantees strong value appreciation, further enhanced by our land improvement efforts, which transform raw plots into highly attractive, development-ready assets.

Our evaluation process considers factors such as location, infrastructure access, economic feasibility, and environmental impact. We also work closely with local authorities to ensure our projects align with urban development plans. By following this strategy, we effectively meet high market demand while delivering substantial returns to our investors, in line with the trends of high-growth markets.

Our primary focus is on the development of residential land to meet the growing demand for housing. However, we have also undertaken projects for hotels and commercial infrastructure when attractive opportunities arise.

The residential market addresses a structurally high demand, particularly following demographic shifts linked to the pandemic. This constant demand ensures greater stability and lower risk compared to other segments, such as office spaces or warehouses, which experience more significant fluctuations.

We select land with minimal environmental impact, prioritizing plots that are sparsely wooded and not prone to flooding. If trees need to be removed, we compensate by replanting and ensure that green spaces are incorporated into our projects for the families who will live there.

We collaborate with LJA Engineering, a firm that has contributed to the development of over 10,000 residential lots per year, bringing extensive experience in municipal permitting.

Thanks to their strong relationships with Texas urban planning authorities, LJA can anticipate regulatory constraints and structure projects accordingly. Their expertise helps us determine the number of lots that can be authorized, ensuring our projects are optimized before acquisition.

By partnering with LJA, we significantly reduce the risk of unexpected permitting challenges, allowing us to confidently move forward with well-planned developments.

The minimum investment to partner with us typically ranges between $50,000 and $100,000, depending on the project. These thresholds are set not only to ensure accessibility while maintaining high standards but also due to regulatory requirements imposed by U.S. authorities. Unlike a traditional investment fund, our investors participate directly in specific projects, providing them with greater transparency and control over the opportunities they choose to engage in.

Yes, although our primary expertise lies in residential land, we have also worked on specific projects such as hotels and data centers. We continuously explore new opportunities based on market needs.

The average duration of our projects ranges between 18 and 24 months. This depends on the complexity of the project and its location, but we strive to provide realistic and optimal timelines to maximize the return on investment.

Our projects offer competitive returns, often exceeding those of other types of real estate investments. While results vary depending on the specifics of each project, our rigorous methodology ensures attractive gains for our investors.

The anticipated rate of return, or ROI (Global Return on Investment), is determined by taking into account all key elements of the operation. This includes the acquisition price of the land, along with engineering, development, and site preparation costs. Once these stages are completed, we legally define the number of lots that can be obtained from the land in compliance with local regulations.

The resale is then conducted at a per-lot unit price based on an in-depth analysis of local market values. After deducting transaction-related expenses, such as closing costs and administrative fees, the net profit is calculated. This net return, shared with our investors, offers a significant profitability outlook while covering the inherent costs of the operation. Our structured approach optimizes the value of each project while securing attractive margins for our financial partners.

Like any investment, there are inherent risks. However, we mitigate these risks through rigorous land selection, collaboration with local experts, and in-depth analysis of opportunities before committing to any project.

In our approach, you invest in land development projects aimed at transforming raw land into ready-to-sell lots. This process includes land acquisition, engineering studies, and legally defining the lots for resale at competitive unit prices. This model ensures transparency and a tangible investment backed by real assets for each project.

The U.S. real estate market, particularly in states like Florida and Texas, is characterized by high demand. Our development projects cater to this growing need, but like any market, some risks can arise:

1. Risk of Delayed or Reduced Sales

While we anticipate competitive pricing, there is a possibility that some lots may sell at lower prices during economic slowdowns or local demand decreases. However, such adjustments are rare and generally do not impact the overall operation.

2. Infrastructure Cost Fluctuations

Development costs can sometimes exceed initial estimates. To address this, we incorporate safety margins to absorb such variations.

3. Changes in Local Regulations

Zoning law changes or local policy updates can impact timelines or costs. We minimize this risk through early collaboration with municipalities, pre-validating the feasibility of our projects. With over 140 successful projects completed, we acquire land with pre-established value, ensuring it can be resold at market prices even with adjustments.

Risk Mitigation Measures

  • Project-Specific LLCs: Each project is structured as a separate LLC, isolating risks. If one project encounters difficulties, it does not affect others, ensuring investment security.
  • Long-Term Asset Tangibility: Investors hold shares in a dedicated company for each specific project. If, after the contractual period (around four years), some lots remain unsold, we offer investors the option to take direct ownership of these lots, providing long-term security.

Transparent and Tangible Model

When you invest with us, you become a shareholder in a company dedicated to the acquisition and development of land. Our pre-development operations aim to maximize land value by making it ready for construction with the necessary infrastructure and legally defined lots in compliance with local regulations. This tangible asset, held through your shares, ensures your investment is tied to a real, physical property.

Commitment to Investors

Our priority is to build long-term relationships with our investors by offering flexible solutions and maximizing profitability while minimizing risks. With our expertise and strong local presence, we proactively manage potential challenges to ensure the success of every project.

We guarantee complete transparency in our processes as well as clear and detailed contracts designed to protect the interests of our investors. Here are the key elements that ensure the security and reliability of our projects:

1. Land Ownership

LandQuire owns the land for each project. By investing, investors gain a tangible collateral in the form of shares in a company that owns a real estate asset.

2. Land Insurance

All acquired land is insured, providing additional protection against unforeseen events.

3. Proven Track Record

Our history demonstrates our ability to efficiently manage projects and generate attractive returns for investors.

4. Preferred Shares for Investors

Investors receive preferred shares, granting them priority rights to profits and distributions.

5. Exclusive Allocation of Funds

Our contracts ensure that raised funds are exclusively used for the specific project, eliminating risks of dilution or unforeseen reallocation.

6. Market Dynamics

While not a formal guarantee, we operate in strategic markets, such as Florida, where high demand for land and housing supports the appreciation of our assets.

These measures do not replace a full guarantee but significantly strengthen the robustness of our projects. They offer investors a high level of security based on tangible assets, rigorous processes, and strategic positioning in attractive markets.

Yes, our projects are designed to meet the needs of both individual and institutional investors, with options tailored to the capacities and goals of each type of investor.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to invest in the United States even if you are not a resident. In fact, the majority of our private investors, whether individuals or through a legal entity, are not U.S. residents. Our investment model, based on the creation of a local SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle), enables non-residents to participate in this type of investment.

To facilitate the investment, we typically create an SPV (Limited Liability Company or Corporation) for the investor, depending on the investment amount. Other legal vehicles, such as Trusts, may also be considered. We conduct an individual analysis of each case in collaboration with our legal and accounting experts to choose the most suitable structure.

Taxation for this type of investment in the United States can be highly advantageous, particularly through structures such as LLCs (Limited Liability Companies). Each situation is unique, and we recommend that our investors consult with our experts to determine the best tax structure for their profile.

For French investors, creating an LLC in the state of Wyoming is often recommended, as this state offers significant tax benefits: a capital gains tax rate of 10 to 15% (depending on the amount). Setting up an LLC can be completed within 24 to 48 hours and costs $850. An EIN (Employer Identification Number, equivalent to a SIRET number in France) is then obtained, allowing the investor to open an online bank account through platforms like Wise, suitable for international transfers.

Investment contracts are signed in the name of this company, and we will need your identification and the chosen company name to initiate the process.

Additionally, double taxation treaties exist between the United States and countries like France and Canada. These agreements allow investors to declare their global income in their country of tax residence while ensuring that taxes paid in the U.S. are taken into account. In France, for example, the tax authorities verify the payment of U.S. taxes and then provide a tax credit or issue a refund within 2 to 3 months.

We strongly recommend consulting with a certified accountant for detailed tax advice tailored to your specific situation.

Yes, the legal structure we use allows multiple shareholders to be included within the same entity, depending on their level of investment.

Yes, it is entirely possible to invest in multiple projects simultaneously using the same legal structure. In this case, we establish a separate contract for each investment, allowing each project to be managed individually.

The funds are disbursed following the resale of the land, with the capital and interest transferred to a USD account. We can advise you on the available options for opening this account and managing your transactions efficiently.

Yes, we support our investors at every step, from project selection to completion. We also provide regular updates to ensure full transparency and optimal management.

We offer detailed monitoring through a dedicated client portal, allowing investors to access regular reports on project progress. Additionally, real-time access to the project timeline is available, ensuring complete transparency and proactive management.

Yes, we offer a referral program that allows participants to earn a commission on investments made by the referred individuals. To learn more about the terms and how this program works, we invite you to contact your representative at LandQuire.

a. Global crisis –
If market conditions prevent a sale, we simply hold the land until the economy or political situation stabilizes. Land is a tangible asset that retains value over time.

b. Real estate market downturn in the US-
We have flexibility. If prices drop, we can sell at a reduced profit or loss or hold the land until the market recovers, just like any long-term real estate investor. This is also why we focus on Texas, where the real estate market is experiencing strong growth, with key development indicators pointing to continued expansion. Additionally, Texas has one of the fastest permitting processes in the U.S., allowing us to minimize exposure to potential market downturns by reducing the time between acquisition and exit.

c. Issues with permits for development –
The question is not whether we obtain permits, but rather how many lots the city will approve for subdivision. To minimize this risk, we conduct a strong due diligence process by leveraging the expertise of leading land planners who have developed thousands of lots. We work closely with LJA Engineering, a top-tier firm specializing in land planning and civil engineering.

Proven track record – LJA has been involved in the development of over 10,000 residential lots per year, giving them extensive experience in navigating municipal approvals.
Direct collaboration with city authorities – Their established relationships with Texas planning departments allow them to anticipate regulatory constraints and structure our projects accordingly.
Strategic risk mitigation – Their expertise helps us understand how many lots we can secure approval for, ensuring our projects are optimized before acquisition.

By partnering with LJA, we significantly reduce the risk of surprises in the permitting process, allowing us to confidently move forward with well-planned developments.

We will add the policy in the data room accessible from page 7

Under normal circumstances, profits from the sale of the land are split between investors and LandQuire. However, if the land is not sold within 60 months, LandQuire distributes 100% of the profit generated from the asset to investors. This structure ensures that investors are prioritized in case of delays

If the land does not sell at the planned price, we gradually adjust pricing to align with market conditions. Specifically, we reduce prices by 5% every 90 days in collaboration with local realtors, unless they advise otherwise based on market demand.
Example: For P14, we will list paper lots at $45,000 and then gradually decrease the price until we find the right buyer. This strategy ensures a structured and market-responsive approach to securing a sale.

Yes, you can sell your shares privately if you wish to exit before the land is sold. However, LandQuire has the first right to purchase your shares before they are offered to another buyer.
We do not provide a secondary market, so it is up to the investor to find a buyer if LandQuire does not exercise its right to purchase.

LandQuire was established on 03/16/2021. You can verify these documents directly on the SUNBIZ website.

See “Successfully partnered” section for a track record of completed projects.

We recently closed the funding for Portfolio 13. At the moment, Portfolio 14 is the only project open for investment.

Portfolio 14 (P14) is a newly created Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), an LLC formed specifically to manage Project 14, which is currently under funding. Each new project operates under its own SPV. The holding company, LandQuire Management LLC, oversees overall operations. Romain will send you the financial statements via email. However, please note that the NOI has been negative for the first three years due to the focus on development, team building, and infrastructure setup.

We have an external book keeper and external CPA ( certified public accountant).

As of February 2025, citizens of any country can invest in the U.S., except for individuals from nations under comprehensive U.S. sanctions, such as Iran, Syria, and Cuba. Ukrainian citizens face no restrictions, provided their investment is not directly related to Crimea. Since 2014, U.S. sanctions specifically apply to investments and financial transactions involving Crimea, but they do not affect Ukrainians investing in the U.S. for other purposes. As long as your investment has no connection to Crimea, there are no legal risks or special restrictions to consider.

There are no special restrictions on investors from Ukraine, Israel, European countries, or the UK when it comes to investing in the U.S. All of these nationalities can invest freely under the same general rules as any other foreign investor.

Investor participation is formalized through two key documents:

  • Private Placement Memorandum (PPM): A disclosure document that outlines the investment opportunity, risks, terms, and company details to ensure transparency and regulatory compliance.
  • Unit Subscription Agreement: A contract that investors sign to confirm their purchase of securities, specifying the number of units, price, payment terms, and investor qualifications.

Together, these documents define the investment terms and protect both parties.

Yes. We will send you a draft or template if you email us or contact us through any other method.

No additional expenses apply to investors beyond the initial investment amount. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Additional taxes when investing: Investors do not pay extra taxes upfront. The investment amount already includes any applicable taxes or fees needed to structure the deal.

  • Investor accreditation: There are no costs for accreditation. Investors self-certify their accreditation status, and no third-party verification (e.g., from an accountant or lawyer) is required.

  • Taxes during the investment period: The SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) that owns the asset covers property taxes and insurance for five years, so investors do not need to contribute additional capital. These costs are factored into the initial investment.

  • Taxes upon exit: When the land is sold, investors must pay taxes on their share of the profits. The tax rate depends on the investment structure:

    • Pass-through LLC: Profits pass directly to investors, who report them on their U.S. tax return at capital gains tax rates (0%, 15%, or 20%). Ukrainian investors must also report gains in Ukraine, but under the U.S.-Ukraine tax treaty, taxes paid in the U.S. are credited against Ukrainian taxes, meaning no additional tax is due if the U.S. rate is higher.
    • S-Corp LLC: The LLC itself pays U.S. corporate tax (10%–21%). Ukrainian investors owe no additional tax in Ukraine unless profits are distributed as dividends or salaries. This structure benefits those who want to reinvest profits while deferring personal taxation.

We would be happy to connect you with an existing investor. However, the majority of our investors are French, especially for projects that have already exited. We will check if, beyond our current investors, we can find someone who can speak with you.

The preferred return is calculated from the day the funds are received. However, in most cases, we raise funds for a project while we have already signed a contract to purchase the land but are still in the due diligence period. If, for any reason, we decide not to proceed with the purchase and terminate the contract with the seller, the preferred return would not be due. In such a case, you would have the option to either receive a full refund or reinvest in another deal. That being said, the due diligence period is generally no longer than a few months and has usually already started before you invest.
