Milwaukee Senior Care Complex Sells

A large (67,000 square feet) and old (built-in 1964) Residential Care Apartment Complex (“RCAC”) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin sold after falling on hard times. Known as St. Clare Terrace, it is made up of 59 units in a large building that sits on 2.4 acres.

Before debt payments, there was a negative cash flow of about $175,000.   Next... Read More »
