Strawberry Fields REIT Refinances Scottsburg Skilled Nursing Facility

Six years after initially leasing a skilled nursing facility in Scottsburg, Indiana, and three years after purchasing it, Strawberry Fields REIT LLC is refinancing the facility with a $4.4 million 35-year HUD loan, featuring a 3.65% fixed interest rate.
