Yale Realty & Capital Advisors

Yale Realty & Capital Advisors is an investment sales and capital markets firm specializing in manufactured housing communities and RV resorts. It runs three divisions: brokerage, debt, and equity, built so that a seller or owner can handle the sale, the financing, and the capital stack through one firm.

The brokerage division lists and sells communities through directors assigned to their own regions, sharing listings and resources such as 1031 buyers across the company. The debt division arranges mortgages across financing channels including local banks and credit unions, CMBS, life insurance companies, bridge lenders, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The equity division introduces operators to common and preferred equity investors, mezzanine lenders, and strategic partners, for one-off acquisitions, portfolio acquisitions, development capital, and recapitalizations. Entry points on the site include a free valuation, a buyers list, and a loan quote request.

The firm was launched in 2012 to combine financing and brokerage in this asset class, and its team page states Yale now has 10 directors around the US covering their respective markets. The site reports a 99% closing ratio on executed loan applications in the lending division, and names its lending leadership as MHI Lender of the Year in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Its debt work also covers self-storage and multifamily alongside manufactured housing and RV parks.
