JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital closed a bank refinance for a 90-bed skilled nursing facility in north central Texas. Built in the 1980s, the facility was acquired by the borrower less than two years ago. It was occupied in the high-80s, and while cash flow was positive (with around 30% of its NOI derived from QIPP revenue), it did not cover debt service yet. So, ownership sought a bank refinance totaling $7.0 million. The loan came with an interest rate of 8% fixed for five years, and the borrower could prepay without penalty after year three.

SVB, Signature and the CPI’s Impact on Seniors Housing and Care Lending

SVB, Signature and the CPI’s Impact on Seniors Housing and Care Lending

The closure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank by the FDIC led to a selloff in the shares of many regional banks late last week and a panicked weekend for many more, with calls for some government intervention to bail out SVB and Signature to stop the spread of more systemic issues.

And as of Tuesday, stocks for many regional banks started to rally, albeit remaining below their levels before the sell-off. The ordeal, plus favorable CPI data released... Read More »
