Double whammy from Cassie and Mahoney

The team of Tony Cassie and Dan Mahoney from Marcus & Millichap recently closed two skilled nursing transactions out West.

Lining up in Massachusetts

It was just a matter of time when Skyline Healthcare would enter the Massachusetts skilled nursing market. The Wood Ridge, New Jersey-based owner/operator of facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania had been leasing a trio of small dually-certified facilities from a family operator for a year, before closing on the real estate this month.

Wait, there’s more

After announcing its seventh fiscal year in a row when it led all other HUD LEAN lenders in terms of total loan amount, Lancaster Pollard showed it was not a one-trick pony, closing two Fannie Mae refinances for clients in California.
