City of Brookfield Mayor Jeff Speaker and his wife bought a 20 unit apartment complex in Milwaukee last spring. The building, located at 4505 through 4525 N. 36th Street, is valued at $439,800. View an interactive picture of the property with Google’s street view. Imagine, 20 units for $100,000 more than the average Brookfield home!
Speaker is heading to court at the end of this month with his first two eviction cases. I suppose he’ll need a little time off from his day job to talk to the judge. The Speakers, of all people, should know how tough eviction can be. Any one can have a bad year.
By the way, my apologies to KathleenM. Speaker’s purchase last spring was a tip from MJS reporter Lisa Sink. I had said earlier Sink hadn’t been a source to the blog. I’d forgotten about this one.
UPDATE: See Speaker’s video on WISN.

VK told him to plan for the days he is out of office and get a gig as a real estate intern.
