Where the capital goes.

Three lines of work. Affordable housing across several states. Commercial and residential real estate in the Lake Norman communities north of Charlotte.

01

Affordable Housing

Clay Investments is an active investor in manufactured housing communities and recreational vehicle communities. This is a core concentration, and one the firm continues to pursue.

Holdings are in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. As of 2026, the firm has 21 active investments across those five states.

We are always looking for communities to acquire. If you have a manufactured housing or RV community to discuss, write or call.

02

Lake Norman Commercial

Along Lake Norman, Clay Investments invests in older, under-utilized properties and works to position them for highest-and-best use.

The particular focus is the “downtown” areas of Lake Norman communities. Catawba Avenue in Cornelius is one example: a dilapidated house, vacant for years, renovated into a viable business location.

03

Lake Norman Residential

On the residential side, Clay Investments partners with local developers. The work ranges from one-off spec homes to townhomes and subdivisions.
