Platinum does it again
A few weeks ago, we wrote of a turnaround sale by Platinum Health Care, which after two years of ownership sold a 114-unit assisted living/memory care community in Peoria, Arizona for more than double its original investment. Now, the owner/operator is selling two more of its non-core assets that it purchased in February 2014, for a pretty profit. First up, in Fort Myers, Florida, Platinum sold a 74-unit assisted living/memory care community for $5.65 million, or $76,000 per unit and 71% higher than the $3.3 million the company paid in 2014. A joint venture between a publicly traded REIT and a regional operator was the buyer, and Trent Gherardini and Ben Firestone of Blueprint Healthcare... Read More »RED hot HUD deal
ORIX USA Corporation just increased its ownership interest in RED Capital Group, the multifamily/affordable/seniors housing lender, from 88% to 100%. ORIX made its original investment in 2010, but RED has continued to operate as an independent entity based in Columbus, Ohio.

Under county-ownership, operations suffered with a high Medicaid census, and despite being 96%... Read More »No rest for the weary
Capital Funding Group recently announced the closing of four transactions for three different skilled nursing facilities across the country. First up, Capital Funding provided an undisclosed amount of subordinated debt to finance the acquisition of a 175-bed SNF in Modesto, California. A group of private real estate investors was the buyer, which brought on an affiliate of Windsor Healthcare to operate. Next up, in a deal that may sound familiar to our readers, CFG financed Vita Healthcare Group’s acquisition of a 140-bed skilled nursing facility in Hatboro, Pennsylvania. There were three parts to the transaction. Capital Funding arranged a $13.36 bridge-to-HUD loan funded through a... Read More »CareTrust expands
CareTrust REIT acquired a portfolio of four assisted living communities and promptly leased them back to two separate entities, creating a new tenant relationship along the way. Three of the communities, with 366 units, are located in Baltimore, Maryland, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and West Allis, Wisconsin, were purchased from and leased back to a company headed by two of the three key principals of the seller. Brother and sister team Robert and Severine Petras formed Priority Life Care, which owns and operates four seniors housing communities, and structured a sale/leaseback agreement with CareTrust to consolidate their existing partnership and complete the capitalization of the new company....
