Why Watertown
Why We Buy Multifamily In Watertown
When we underwrite a Watertown property, we start with the demand behind it — Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, Lake Area Technical College, and Terex Utilities and regional manufacturers.
Surrounded by lakes in the northeast corner of the state, Watertown is a manufacturing and service center with a limited apartment supply. Renters are mainly factory workers, technical college students, and health-care staff living in older walk-ups and smaller complexes.
In Lake Kampeska and Florence as much as Downtown Watertown, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.

Watertown Seller FAQ
Which parts of Watertown do you buy in?
We look across the city and its surroundings — Downtown Watertown, Lake Kampeska, Pelican Lake, and Florence — and we will review a property outside those areas on its own merits.
Why is Watertown a good place to own rentals?
The renter base in Watertown draws on Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, Lake Area Technical College, and Terex Utilities and regional manufacturers, which gives well-run apartment buildings a steady pool of tenants.
Will you buy a Watertown property that needs work or has high vacancy?
Yes. We regularly evaluate value-add, mismanaged, and distressed multifamily properties and underwrite them as they are today — no repairs or lease-up required before selling.
