The best manufactured housing communities we buy are never listed.

We recently acquired a 211-site community for Fund IV, off-market, direct from the mom-and-pop group that built and ran it, at ~$35,000 per pad. It sits in a market where we already operate, so we are bolting it onto an existing footprint from day one.

The plan is the part most funds outsource and we do not. We bring rents to market gradually, submeter the water and sewer and pass those costs through to residents, which is the single biggest driver of NOI, and fill the vacant sites over time.

If our projections hold, that is roughly 217% NOI growth by year five.

We operate every community on our own platform, so the work actually gets done.

There is a line running through real estate right now, and it separates the operators who created value from the ones who just rode cheap debt.

When money was cheap, almost anyone could buy an asset and look smart. That era is over. The sponsors who leaned on the market to carry their returns are the ones now facing frozen distributions and debt they cannot refinance. The operators who forced value through their own actions, growing NOI deal by deal, are still performing even as rates climbed.

That is the entire reason we operate the way we do. We would rather control our own destiny than hope the market cooperates.

What do you think separates the operators built for this market from the ones that aren't?

Before the institutions arrived, Crystal View Capital was a handful of people and a phone list.

In this week's Value Add Strategy episode, Matt Ricciardella shares the origin story. In 2008, he left Southern California and started cold-calling mobile home park and storage owners across the country, with two colleagues and his wife Jess dialing alongside him. Capital was scarce, the assets were illiquid, and the deals were everywhere for anyone willing to go direct to the owner. Matt still owns some of those early assets today.

The scale has changed. The mindset has not.

What is something you started from nothing that you are still proud of?

Manufactured housing is the lowest-cost form of housing in the United States.

In an economy where interest rates, inflation, and basic living costs have pushed working families out of stick-built homeownership, the asset class that absorbs that demand is manufactured housing communities.
The tailwind is not theoretical. It is showing up in occupancy growth, rental demand, and the inability of new supply to come online quickly enough to meet it.

CVC operates manufactured housing communities in 32 states. We have been investing in this thesis for twenty years.

In 2024, CVC acquired a two-property manufactured housing portfolio in Michigan at an online auction, in the low $3M range. There were not many other bidders at the table.

The portfolio came with substantial deferred maintenance. The team removed abandoned homes, repaired roads, passed utility costs through to residents, and rebuilt the customer base.

Twenty-five months in, the first of the two properties has been sold. Unlevered IRR on that single sale: 24%.

The story is not common in private real estate. It is what happens when the operational platform is doing the work the deal underwriting cannot.

Just over two years ago we bought a manufactured housing community in the Northern Midwest out of an auction, at a price that reflected how much work it needed. We just sold it at roughly a 24% IRR.

What happened in between is the whole point. We brought delinquency down, reinvested in cleanup and the community's infrastructure, and fixed the water-leak issues that had kept other buyers away.

By the time we exited, it was a stabilized community an infill-focused buyer wanted to own.

This is what we mean when we say returns are created through control, not timing. We did not wait for the market. We bought below the asset's value and operated it into demand. 92% of what we buy is sourced off-market, and we operate every community on our own platform.

This exit is one example of why that combination is the whole strategy. Fund IV is accepting capital for the next 15 days before its final close.

This is the last chance to gain entrance into strong cashflow and significant upside potential.

The 1031 exchange comes with a clock: 45 days to identify a replacement, 180 days to close, and the new asset has to be like-kind. For sellers who can't make those constraints work, there's another structure worth understanding.

On this episode of Value Add Strategy, Matthew Ricciardella sits down with Brett Swarts, Founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions and author of Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan, to unpack the Deferred Sales Trust. The structure has been in use for more than 30 years, is built on IRS Section 453 installment sale reporting, and removes the timing and like-kind constraints that define a 1031.

Brett walks through how a seller shifts from owner to creditor of the trust at close, why that shift is what defers the gain, and how the same structure can be used to eliminate estate tax on a fully appreciated asset in a single sale.

He also covers the objections every CPA raises and the track record behind them: thousands of closes, roughly $1B in assets sold through the structure each year, and 35 no-change audits to date.
