In early 2026, Institutional Real Estate, Inc. (IREI) began interviewing people across 11 different property types to share their insights and outlooks on asset management in a video series titled “Asset Management In Focus.”
After a brief summer break, Chase McWhorter, managing director, Americas, at IREI, is back and interviewed Matt Sheeleigh, vice president at Stockbridge, about manufactured housing, a property type not yet covered in the series.
Drawing on Stockbridge’s experience managing roughly $30 billion in manufactured housing assets, Sheeleigh explains what makes the sector distinct — from filling vacant sites with new homes rather than renovating units, to balancing homeowner and renter tenancy models — and offers guidance for investors on picking experienced operators, evaluating capex plans and taking a measured approach to rent increases.
