Matthew Alley Sells 100th Texas Property

Matthew Alley Sells 100th Texas Property

Cheers to Matthew Alley, who just sold his 100th facility in the state of Texas since joining Senior Living Investment Brokerage in 2006. In what was his 69th transaction in the state, Mr. Alley (and Patrick Byrne) represented a public healthcare REIT in its disposition of a 75-bed SNF in the Texas Panhandle, in the town of Wheeler. Built in 1982, the facility has a long way to go to stabilization, and its rural location doesn’t make it easier. It was just 55% occupied and operated just above breakeven under management of the outgoing Texas-based SNF operator. The buyer is a regional owner/operator that focuses on the state of Texas too. It purchased the facility for $1.8 million, or... Read More »
