About Crystal View Capital
Most real estate private equity firms hire third parties to operate their assets. Crystal View Capital operates them in-house. We acquire manufactured housing communities and self-storage assets off-market, directly from retiring owners, before deals reach the broader market. The improvement story happens under direct operational control, not through outsourced asset managers we have never met. When the improvement arc is complete, we exit to institutional buyers in a market consolidating in our favor. The firm's own capital is invested alongside every LP, on the same terms. Matt Ricciardella, the founder, holds $15M+ of personal capital in the funds as a standard LP. Deal flow creates the opportunity. Operations create the returns. Track record: • $180M+ in cumulative LP distributions • 38 realized exits • 28,000+ units managed in-house • 100% fixed-rate debt at 6.1% weighted average • Fund I gross IRR of 47.9%* (fully realized) Our investors tend to be operators themselves, business owners and professionals who have already built something. They commit warm, after multiple conversations, and reinvest. Learn more at crystalviewcapital.com
