What types of senior housing does Haven transact in Wisconsin?+

Does Haven list off-market Wisconsin properties?+
Yes. A significant portion of Haven's Wisconsin deal flow is off-market — sourced through our operator relationships and advisor network. Registered buyers get early access before public listing. Sign up for our free monthly listing alerts to hear about new opportunities as they become available.
What is the licensing process for senior housing in Wisconsin?+
Wisconsin has a dual licensing system: Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRFs) provide higher-level care; Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCACs) provide personal care. Both are licensed through DHS. Haven guides buyers through Wisconsin's licensing structure. Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) change-of-ownership processing typically takes 60–90 days after a complete application.
What cap rates should I expect in Wisconsin?+
Wisconsin stabilized CBRF/RCAC assets typically trade at 7–10% cap rates. Madison and Milwaukee suburban premium communities trend toward 6.5–8.5%; Green Bay, Appleton, and rural Wisconsin assets trade at 8.5–11%. Haven provides free preliminary valuations.
How long does a Wisconsin senior housing transaction take?+
Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) change-of-ownership processing typically takes 60–90 days after a complete application. Most senior housing sales close in 90–150 days from engagement. The full change-of-ownership process, from application to new license, typically takes 90–180 days, so it starts early in the sale.
Can Haven help with financing for a Wisconsin acquisition?+
Yes. Haven's Capital Solutions team provides lender introductions for Wisconsin senior housing acquisitions — including bridge financing, conventional commercial loans, and HUD-insured loans for qualified larger facilities. We prepare lender-ready financial packages that account for Wisconsin's specific regulatory and market context.
