• 60 Seconds with Swett: Here We Go Again

    AARP just published a report on assisted living, and all I can say is, here we go again. It concludes that “the state of assisted living today is cause for concern for many stakeholders. The lack of national federal standards for care centers creates an underregulated space.” It continues on, stating that the “absence of national oversight,... Read More »

PM Advisors Refinances Oregon AL Community

PM Advisors Refinances Oregon AL Community

KC Peterson of PM Advisors successfully closed a HUD refinance of a 30-unit/36-bed assisted living community in Sutherlin, Oregon. Built in 1996 and in good condition, the community was owned and operated by an established group in the state. They had originally financed the community with bonds that contained an affordability period for 20% of the resident population through 2032. Those units could be occupied by Medicaid residents as well as private pay residents who had spent down their wealth. In addition, ownership had two additional layers of IOI promissory notes on the property. However, the bonds came with a high interest rate of 7.375%, leaving the owners to look for a refinancing...

Cambridge Closes Slew of HUD Financings

Cambridge Closes Slew of HUD Financings

Cambridge Realty Capital Companies has been quite prolific this month in the HUD market. Just last week, the firm closed two loans totaling $24 million for two senior care campuses in Ohio. Then, in Merced, California, Cambridge provided a $16.3 million HUD loan to refinance a 72-bed transitional care facility. The property offers units with private restrooms, nutrition services, therapy, and physical therapy services, a physical therapy center, two restaurant-style dining venues, courtyard dining facilities plus an on-site beauty salon. The California limited partnership borrower received a fully amortizing 35-year loan. Finally, Cambridge headed across the country to refinance a 104-bed... Read More »
Lancaster Pollard Refinances Oregon Memory Care Community

Lancaster Pollard Refinances Oregon Memory Care Community

Giza Development successfully refinanced its new 45-unit/bed memory care community in McMinnville, Oregon (45 miles south of Portland), with the help of Ross Holland of Lancaster Pollard. Managed by Senior Development Resources, the community is located across the street from McMinnville’s full-service hospital and between two medical office parks. Sounds pretty ideal. It was initially refinanced with a bridge loan provided by OREC Structured Finance Co., which allowed Giza to buy out investors in the property and refinance construction debt. It was also immediately eligible for a permanent refinance. So, Lancaster Pollard secured a $4.9 million loan though HUD with a favorable, long-term... Read More »

Walker & Dunlop Finances Another Cascade Capital Group Acquisition

Walker & Dunlop Finances Another Cascade Capital Group Acquisition

Walker & Dunlop’s Joshua Rosen arranged bridge financing for Cascade Capital Group’s acquisition of a 136-bed supportive living facility in Aurora, Illinois. Totaling over $11.0 million, the debt was structured and provided by W&D’s bridge lending program, which utilizes the company’s own balance sheet. It came with a nine-month term and full term of interest-only payments and allow Cascade to quickly execute on the acquisition. The loan also features flexible prepayment options, and Cascade expects to refinance through HUD later this year. If this sounds familiar, it’s because in August 2019, Walker & Dunlop provided a $12.8 million loan from its balance sheet to cover 100% of... Read More »
Lancaster Pollard Refinances Plum Portfolio

Lancaster Pollard Refinances Plum Portfolio

It’s been quite a lucrative relationship between Lancaster Pollard and California-based skilled nursing operator, Plum Healthcare Group. About 18 months ago, Grant Goodman, Jason Dopoulos, Joe Munhall and Elliot Kaple secured $400 million in bridge financing from Credit Suisse on 27 skilled nursing facilities in California owned by Plum. However, that was short-term, corporate-level recourse-based debt, which did not give Plum much capital flexibility. So, upon closing of that transaction, Lancaster Pollard immediately began work on a HUD refinance, and the time has now come. On behalf of 26 of those facilities, Messrs. Goodman, Dopoulos and Kaple led the way on a $420 million HUD... Read More »
