At Carbon, we acquire, improve, and operate multifamily properties to create cashflow for our investors and a home for our tenants.
With a combined 3 decades of investment experience and over 1,600 portfolio doors, the principals at Carbon have built a solid track record of wealth creation through a winning strategy.
We acquire multifamily assets that fit our strict eligibility criteria and target investment properties in good neighborhood in growing markets. In the first year, we do a cost-seg study to enable accelerated depreciation for our investors to save on their taxes.

We force equity and cash flow through interior and exterior renovations which improve the property and allow us to achieve higher rents and grow revenue. This means we don't rely on market forces for the majority of our returns and we build significant downside protection.

We refinance based on the new valuation and return equity to investors on a tax-deferred basis in 18 – 48 months while continuing to provide cashflow that grows for years to come. We try to maximize the time we hold a deal both for the tax-benefits for our investors, but also because this is the lowest risk period of any investment.

1. Take the Long View — We want to be making decisions for 10–15 years down the road. When faced with a decision, do the thing that's the best for the firm, investors, and residents in the long run. This is likely the most difficult thing in the short run.
2. Respect — Use the Golden Rule for Investors and Residents
