Blueprint Closes Ohio SNF Deal
Connor Doherty, Ryan Kelly, Chris Hyldahl and Gideon Orion of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors closed a skilled nursing deal in Ohio on May 1. It took a motivated seller, experienced buyer and a willing lender to get the deal done, not always an easy combination these days. An older vintage with some recent updates, the 150-bed skilled nursing facility is located near Youngstown, Ohio. It was owned by a REIT and managed by a large national operator, but the time had come to sell. Turnover in key leadership positions had caused occupancy to decline, which we are sure added to the motivation to exit. Blueprint positioned the property as a value-add opportunity, if a new...

Capital Funding Group Finances Illinois SNF Acquisition

Built in 1964, the facility was previously owned by a California-based individual who had inherited the day-to-day operations from her late husband. Managing the facility from California proved to be too much for the seller, who decided to retire. Occupancy was 62% at the time, but with a strong 57% quality mix, 52% of the census coming from private pay. However, it was generating a loss of about $200,000 on $5.24 million of revenues. ...

April M&A Market Drops Off
The April deal total for the seniors housing and care market is in, the preliminary total at least, and if it is any precursor for M&A activity in the next few months, or longer…oh boy. A strong start to the month and anemic weeks afterwards pushed April’s transaction count to 21 publicly announced deals. We expect that figure to rise, but not by much since we imagine anyone who closed a deal in the last few weeks would want to shout that from the mountaintop. It’s true that several April closings were all-but-completed by the time COVID-19 reared its ugly head in the country. They just needed a little nudge, and some good faith from the buyer, seller and lender. But... Read More »
