HFF’s Sizzling Skilled Nursing Month

HFF’s Sizzling Skilled Nursing Month

HFF showed its strength in the skilled nursing M&A market, closing three transactions at the end of last month. Dave Fasano sold four Florida SNFs currently in receivership to New York-based TL Management for $24 million, or $66,850 per bed. Built between 1965 and 1996, the facilities averaged 87% occupancy but operated at just a 5.7% margin on about $26 million of combined revenues. However, TL Management believes EBITDA could be increased to $3.5 million, which if true would yield a very conservative cap rate of 14.6% on the purchase price. TL, with its over-100 SNF portfolio across 10 states, will have to use all of its experience to get the job done.   Mr. Fasano then teamed up... Read More »

In late November, the team of Mike Surak, Joshua Jandris and Mark Myers of Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, closed on the sale of a 69-unit assisted living and memory care community in Knoxville, Tennessee.

This came to just over $243,000 per unit, and a 6.6% cap rate on annualized EBITDA.    Read More »
Diversicare Divests Three Kentucky Properties

Diversicare Divests Three Kentucky Properties

After a “challenging quarter” when Diversicare Healthcare Services reported a net loss of $7.4 million, (compared with a $600,000 loss last third quarter), a drop in average occupancy to 79.3% (down from 80.1%) a $6.4 million contingent liability fund regarding potential false claims violations, AND the departure of their CEO Kelly Gill, the company completed the sale of three skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky earlier this month. As required by bank agreements, the company used the net proceeds to entirely pay off the associated indebtedness and are probably pretty happy to move on and concentrate on bigger problems.
