Monarch Advisors Finances Kansas SNF Acquisition
A local owner/operator purchased a small skilled nursing facility in rural Kansas with an acquisition loan in hand, secured by Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors. An active, national SBA lender provided the financing, which totaled $721,500 and came with a 25-year, fully amortizing term. It came with an interest rate of Prime + 2.25%, and there was also a five-year declining prepayment penalty. Built in the 1950s, but well maintained, the 45-bed facility was around 86% occupied by the end of 2020. Given where national average census is for the industry, most operators would happily take that. Including working capital and closing costs, the buyer expects to spend around $800,000, or...

Blueprint Sells Birmingham-Area Community
Brooks Blackmon of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors sold a well-run senior living community in Birmingham, Alabama. The Alabama-based developer seller originally purchased the property in 2016 when it was just a small assisted living community.

The developer also fully renovated the community in addition to adding the three-story IL building. Inspired Healthcare Capital emerged as the winning bidder and... Read More »
Plains Commercial Real Estate Sells Texas SNF
Daniel Morris of Plains Commercial Real Estate successfully sold a 123-bed skilled nursing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Built in 1973, the facility was owned by a regional operator that had decided to trim its portfolio. This facility didn’t fit into its portfolio but did for another regional owner/operator, which is seeking to grow its portfolio. Mr. Morris had the facility under contract during the pandemic and worked with both the buyer and seller to get the deal across the finish line. The seller was able to keep the facility free of any major COVID outbreaks throughout the contract period, which certainly helped get the deal across the finish...

Innovative Senior Living Adds To Arizona Portfolio
It took about five years, but an assisted living community in Tucson, Arizona finally found a new owner. Opened in 2015 with 70 private units, the community consists of seven separate 10-unit buildings. The developer decided to sell the property almost immediately after opening it and worked with Mark Biery of Berkshire Hathaway to find a buyer. The property went under escrow several times but to mostly unsophisticated, out-of-state investors. It was difficult for a lender to get aboard, especially when the potential buyers don’t have any experience operating in the assisted living sector. Also complicating things was the fact that four separate mom & pop operators leased the... Read More »
