Another small, local owner is exiting the senior care business, with the sale of its assisted living community in Stockton, California. Rob Reis of Marcus & Millichap represented them in the transaction and found a small, regional owner/operator to acquire the property. 

Featuring 87 units and 96 licensed beds, the community was 78% occupied at the start of negotiations. Plus, the community was producing about $220,000 in NOI on gross revenues of $1.8 million. In addition to improving the operating margin, there is upside in taking care of deferred maintenance and adding more care services. The final purchase price leaves room for adding value, with the regional owner/operator paying $3 million, or $34,500 per unit, at a 7.3%.
