Owner/Operator Chooses Refinance over Sale

Owner/Operator Chooses Refinance over Sale

We have written numerous times of property owners not being tempted into the M&A market lately, due to values being below their expectations for their properties. One of those owners, a local operator in Michigan, decided to refinance its 150-unit independent living community after sale offers came in lower than they desired.

That probably did not help its sale prospects. So, JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital arranged a refinance totaling $9 million from a syndicate of local credit unions. The loan came with a... Read More »
