Marcus & Millichap’s Recent Activity
Michael Mooney and Nick Stahler of the Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap sold a seniors housing community in Bellingham, Washington. Built in 1978, the community comprises 66 assisted living units and 70 beds. It was not stabilized, although there was some positive cash flow and occupancy was in the mid-80s. The deal was initially marketed more than a year ago, and Stahler and Mooney eventually secured the best bid from a regional operator with a pre-existing footprint in the Bellingham market. The improving capital markets, operating and M&A environments across that period helped push that final purchase price up, as well. No additional details were disclosed. In another... Read More »

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Here We Go Again
Investigate, investigate, investigate. Regulate, regulate, regulate. Why not assist? Why not help? Why not try to understand? Liz, Ron and Kirsten, of U.S. Senate fame, have asked the GAO to investigate the assisted living industry and to see if federal oversight is needed. Really? Are we going down this road again? How did that work out for the nursing home industry? As we know, the assisted living sector is predominantly private pay, unlike nursing homes, but the senators are using information from state Medicaid agencies to back up their claims. I suppose I could see them investigating any assisted living community that is receiving Medicaid funds to make sure the money is wisely spent,... Read More »

Tremper Capital Group Secures Competitive Bank Loan
One of the takeaways from the NIC Spring Conference earlier this month was that more lenders seemed willing to jump back into the market, possibly offering more competitive terms to get deals, as well.
