Roanoke, Virginia — primary base with nonprofit, city planning, and housing authority relationships. St. Louis, Missouri — active acquisition market with SLDC and MHDC funding in development.

Why Choose Us

Six Reasons Partners
Choose Haskins Capital

We bring a combination of credentials, discipline, and mission alignment that is uncommon in both the advisory and real estate development markets.

🏆
20+ Years CapEx Leadership

Two decades of hands-on capital project planning, procurement, and execution in complex industrial and manufacturing environments — not theoretical consulting.

🎓
Engineering + MBA Foundation

A BSEE paired with an MBA means every financial model is stress-tested with engineering discipline — budgets are validated, assumptions challenged, and risk quantified.

🏛️
Government Funding Expertise

We navigate CDBG, HOME, CDFI, LIHTC, HUD, VHDA, and SLDC stacks — unlocking projects that other developers walk away from because the funding complexity is too high.

📍
Dual-Market Operations

Active in both Roanoke, Virginia and St. Louis, Missouri — giving lenders and investors geographic diversification and a broader pipeline across two distinct community markets.

💲
Fixed-Fee Advisory Model

No hourly billing. No scope surprises. Every advisory engagement is scoped, priced, and agreed in writing before work begins — typically $7,500 to $15,000 per engagement.

🤝
Mission-Driven Real Estate

We pursue affordable housing because it aligns with a long-held conviction that capital should serve people. That conviction is visible in every partnership, every property, and every lease structure.

Our Strategic Divisions

Two Divisions.
One Unified Mission.

Each division operates independently with its own clients and partners — united by the same founding principle that disciplined capital creates lasting community value.

Division I
📊
CapEx Advisory Solutions

Who We Work With

Built for Five
Distinct Audiences

Haskins Capital serves clients and partners across two divisions — each with a defined engagement pathway and a clear value proposition tailored to their specific needs.

🏛️
Government Agencies

City planning offices, housing authorities, and state agencies seeking a development partner who understands CDBG, HOME, and HUD requirements from the inside.

🤝
Nonprofit Organizations

Social service providers and housing nonprofits looking for a real estate partner to develop, own, or master-lease transitional and affordable housing for their clients.

💼
Investors & Lenders

Community banks, CDFIs, and private lenders seeking a borrower with engineering-grade financial discipline, dual-market diversification, and mission-aligned deal structures.

🏠
Property Owners

Motivated sellers, estate owners, and absentee landlords with distressed properties who need a fast, experienced buyer with access to rehabilitation capital.

🏭
Manufacturers & Utilities

Industrial companies and utility operators who need an independent expert — not a consultant who has never managed a real project — to audit or rescue their CapEx program.

Division II

Community Real Estate
Development

We acquire distressed multifamily properties and rehabilitate them into affordable, transitional, and assisted living housing — funded through a disciplined stack of government programs in partnership with the nonprofits and agencies that serve each community.

Our approach: buy right, fund smart, and partner deeply. We target properties that are financially distressed but structurally sound — then layer government funding to minimize equity requirements while maximizing community impact.
