They started as a client of mine many years ago. I had done all their cost segregation work since then. I was so impressed with the operation that I became an investor. This is the first fund I have been in with them, but I've done all the work for the other funds. You must know that I work with a ton of firms who do this, my investment with Crystal View Capital says a lot. I chose them. They were at the top of my list. They do a great job externally as well as internally. You are in good hands with them.
Kim
Many of my other investments are discontinuing distributions or lack consistent updates. Even those still paying are inconsistent in timing and amounts. But Crystal View Capital is refreshingly different, thriving under current conditions. I receive consistent updates, informed of acquisitions, and invaluable video updates on market conditions. You’re head and shoulders above my other investments and truly the cream of the crop. If there were an award for the investment team of the year, you’d have my vote annually!
Joe
We’ve done extensive due diligence on Crystal View Capital and Matt’s team. Our largest Q4 investment was in Fund III, with a mid-seven-digit commitment. After multiple calls with Matt, we felt confident investing. Crystal View treats limited partners as true partners, exceeding expectations. Their expertise in self-storage and mobile home parks makes partnering preferable to stand-alone investments. We believe their returns match or exceed what we’d achieve on our own, without the day-to-day management. Their track record is truly impressive, and I don’t say that lightly.
