30+ SNFs Sell to Large Owner/Operator

A portfolio of more than 30 skilled nursing facilities totaling over 4,900 beds has sold, allowing the regional skilled nursing owner/operator to exit the industry.

Occupancy was around 82% on average, and it was not considered to be a cap rate deal. The owner had operated the facilities for more than 20 years. The seller wished to retire and had previously tried to sell the portfolio, but those processes failed. They then engaged Stan Klos of 3G Healthcare Real Estate, who called a large... Read More »

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again

You may start to get tired of hearing us talk about all the records being set, but we will never tire of it. As of November 11, we have passed last year’s record of total acquisitions in the seniors housing and care sector, now standing at over 720 deals, according to LevinPro LTC. And we thought last year was an amazing year! The good news is that pricing has been relatively reasonable so far, mostly because of still-high interest rates and lenders not getting too aggressive. What we don’t know is how long this will last. “Stupid” money that has appeared in previous rising markets has not yet reared its ugly head, but that will probably change. Everyone is looking for a growing market,... Read More »
