NHI Primes For Investments

It looks like National Health Investors may be in the buying mood again, as the REIT just entered into a $300 million bank term loan with a five-year maturity from a syndicate of banks.

Friendly Sale Followed By HUD Financing

Friendly Sale Followed By HUD Financing

Cambridge Realty Capital Companies arranged $28.4 million in HUD financing for a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in Ohio, but the road to closing was more complicated than usual.

It was the lessee’s goal to eventually own the facilities, and through its ongoing relationship with them, Cambridge helped arrange a friendly sale. Now, with two 35-year terms and one 33-year term, Cambridge structured a $6.08 million loan, a $6.4... Read More »
