Predictable passive income backed by Texas land

 

WHAT WE DO

Hawthorne Capital is a Houston-based private equity firm that pairs Doug Smith’s funds with those of other investors to purchase, subdivide, improve and sell tracts of rural Texas land.

Our unique business model is generating predictable passive income for our investors. Investments are backed by tangible assets, and returns are mirroring the stock market’s long-term trend but without the volatility.

Our managers and advisors have over 100 years of combined real estate investing experience and have bought and sold over $100 million in real estate assets, including over 5,000 acres of rural land.

OUR STORY

I started Hawthorne Capital to build and protect my own wealth, and that goal remains the same today. I am proud to be one of the company’s largest investors.

A good partnership is one where everyone wins together. When you partner with us, you won’t find any hidden fees or complex structures. Our returns are created through real profits and not financial engineering.

I am privileged to partner with you and want to thank you for considering Hawthorne Capital for your investment needs.
