About Carbon
Carbon Real Estate Investments is a vertically integrated private real estate investment firm focused on workforce housing communities across the Southeast United States.
Founded in 2020, Carbon was built on a simple belief: the best real estate investments are owned and operated by the same people who understand every layer of the asset. We launched as a vertically integrated firm from day one — acquiring, repositioning, and managing workforce housing communities across Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
Today our portfolio has grown to 9 properties and 1,331 units across three states. Carbon Residential, our property management arm, operates every asset in our portfolio — creating direct alignment between investor returns and operational performance. We are not a fund. We are operators who also raise capital.

Cody founded Carbon with a clear thesis: build a vertically integrated workforce housing platform that outperforms by owning both sides of the equation — capital and operations. He leads the firm's strategy, investor relations, and long-term vision.

We own what we manage. Every underwriting decision is made with operational reality in mind — not modeled assumptions.
02
Our principals invest alongside LPs in every deal. We succeed when our investors succeed — full stop.
03
We underwrite conservatively, hold to conviction, and never chase yield at the expense of fundamentals.
04
Investors receive clear, regular reporting. We share bad news as quickly as good news — because trust compounds.
05
Workforce housing serves real families. We take that responsibility seriously in how we operate every property.
06
We build durable platforms, not one-off deals. Our decisions optimize for compounding returns over years — not quarters.
