The story

Founded in 2019 as a proptech startup aiming to democratize residential real estate investment through fractional share ownership accessible to any US adult 18+. Launched publicly in 2022 with $33M in funding and a $5 minimum investment pitch. Evolved to add investment property mortgage financing and SEC-registered note offerings via Landa Financing LLC. By mid-2025, the platform went dark, users were locked out of funds, and dividends went unpaid — indicating a company in severe operational or financial distress.
