The Promised Land
is ahead.

The subject: 25 years ago, this nursing home, which sat on a beautiful 5-acre campus with multiple buildings, a walking trail, pond, and grassy park, was thriving.

But over time, something happened: management changed, their reputation soured, and the beds slowly emptied out. The complex has been fully depreciated, and the buildings and improvements are worthless. Holding costs are at $150,000 a year.

Time for both owners and investors to sell the property, wipe their hands clean of it, and move on. But that’s easier said than done: it’s been on the market for 3 years, and interest has been low.

At this point, all parties want to cut their losses and hopefully recoup some of their investment. The owners already have a $5M appraisal based on plans for redevelopment they had drawn up, but no one’s biting!

The Promised Land
is ahead.

The subject: A 14-unit strip mall off Main Street in Glenpool, Oklahoma.

It has seen better days: Once a thriving shopping center, this neglected property is now damaged, decrepit, and needs improvements estimated to cost $255,000 to be operational.

Whether vacant or rented, the building expenses are $36,288 — a huge drain on the current owner. The shopping center has an appraisal of $1,180,000 in its current condition.

The Promised Land
is ahead.

The subject: A 50,000 sq ft warehouse with 5,000 sq ft of office space. The successful company owner retired, sold the business to a local competing business — and is now stuck with a property headache, as the competitors have their own facilities.

Here are the numbers: The vacant space’s expenses are $100,000 a year. Additionally, there’s a $500,000 mortgage on the property that costs $40,000 a year. It doesn’t need any repairs, but it’s fully depreciated and has a big capital gains tax liability.
