Jesse and Hannah Coody
Rewriting the Rules of Real Estate Investment

​​

 

A Dual-Company Model Built for Scale

In Austin, Texas, Jesse and Hannah Coody are reimagining real estate investing—and investors are taking note. As the founders and managing partners of Coody & Co. Financing and The Lucky Group, the husband-and-wife team leads a vertically integrated platform designed to generate high-yield, asset-backed returns by pairing strategic property acquisition with owner-financed resale.

 

Together, Jesse and Hannah built the two-company model to serve an often-overlooked borrower segment: credit-conscious and self-employed individuals who are underserved by traditional banks. Their system enables homebuyers to shop the open market while offering passive, high-performing investment opportunities to capital partners.

 

Flipping the Owner-Financing Model

 

In the traditional owner-financing model, buyers must convince a property seller to act as the lender—an uncommon and often unsuccessful scenario. Even when real estate investors offer owner financing, buyers are limited to homes the investor happens to own, not necessarily ones they want.

 

Jesse and Hannah flipped this. Coody & Co. Financing pre-qualifies buyers and helps them find the home they want. Once selected, The Lucky Group purchases the property through its real estate debt fund and resells it to the buyer under an owner-financed agreement. This process removes friction, delivers a superior client experience, and captures the full spread from acquisition to resale—all while generating consistent returns for investors.

 

Strong Returns, Backed by Real Assets

 

With over $2 million in capital deployed and nearly $10 million in assets under management across 10 states in the Southeast and East Coast, both companies are scaling fast. Capital commitments to their funds are growing daily as investors seek yield-generating, secured assets in a volatile market.

 

“Our model is a win-win,” says Hannah. “We deliver a path to homeownership for people who’ve been told ‘no’ and we provide our investors with asset-backed notes that perform. It’s about as passive of an investment as it gets.”

 

Built by a Leader in Strategic Execution

 

Jesse and Hannah bring a dynamic mix of vision, execution, and operational leadership to their ventures. Hannah’s background includes over a decade of experience scaling ventures and managing a $300 million field development program as an execution engineer at Devon Energy. She leads operations, branding, and investor experience while building the systems that support scalable growth. Jesse, a serial entrepreneur with deep expertise in real estate, leads fund strategy and capital structuring. Together, their complementary skill sets are the engine behind their rapidly expanding, vertically integrated platform.

 

A New Era for Real Estate Investors

 

By systematizing a once-fragmented model and operating at scale, Jesse and Hannah Coody are opening up a new landscape of opportunity—one where investors benefit from consistent cash flow, strong collateral, and a mission-driven impact.

 

With innovation at its core and results to back it up, The Lucky Group’s model is reshaping what it means to invest in real estate.
