Strawberry Fields REIT Back in Buying Mode

Strawberry Fields REIT Back in Buying Mode

After making seven acquisitions in 2019, Strawberry Fields REIT has finally reentered the acquisition arena in 2020, announcing its purchase of a 107-bed senior care facility in Danville, Kentucky.

Sparks Management Company, Inc.), the Danville facility consists of 90 skilled nursing beds, 16 assisted living beds and one... Read More »

Blueprint Finds New Tenant for Kansas City-Area SNF

Working on behalf of a REIT landlord, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors found a new tenant for a 140-bed skilled nursing facility in Liberty, Missouri (Kansas City MSA). Built in 1971 with all semi-private units, the facility was approximately 80% occupied. Cash flow was also near stable levels, but rent coverage was limited.
