30+ SNFs Sell to Large Owner/Operator
A portfolio of more than 30 skilled nursing facilities totaling over 4,900 beds has sold, allowing the regional skilled nursing owner/operator to exit the industry. Few details were disclosed, and the deal appears to have been done very quietly, but the portfolio spanned between five and 10 states in the Southeast and featured approximately 35 facilities. Occupancy was around 82% on average, and it was not considered to be a cap rate deal. The owner had operated the facilities for more than 20 years. The seller wished to retire and had previously tried to sell the portfolio, but those processes failed. They then engaged Stan Klos of 3G Healthcare Real Estate, who called a large... Read More »

SNF Replaces Existing Financing with New HUD Arrangement
JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital arranged a couple of financings for two skilled nursing facilities in Texas. First, a 94-bed facility in the Wichita Falls market refinanced its existing acquisition financing with a new $8.5 million HUD arrangement. Built in the 1970s, the facility was performing well. It was purchased in December 2024 for $9.35 million, or $99,500 per bed, with a 100% loan-to-purchase-price bridge loan. So, the refinance was arranged within 10 months of acquisition and for 100% of the sponsor’s original purchase price. Stettin also arranged an acquisition loan for a 75-bed SNF in the Lubbock-Levelland market in west Texas. Built in the 1960s, the facility was not performing... Read More »

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again
You may start to get tired of hearing us talk about all the records being set, but we will never tire of it. As of November 11, we have passed last year’s record of total acquisitions in the seniors housing and care sector, now standing at over 720 deals, according to LevinPro LTC. And we thought last year was an amazing year! The good news is that pricing has been relatively reasonable so far, mostly because of still-high interest rates and lenders not getting too aggressive. What we don’t know is how long this will last. “Stupid” money that has appeared in previous rising markets has not yet reared its ugly head, but that will probably change. Everyone is looking for a growing market,... Read More »
Regional Owner/Operator Acquires in North Carolina
A skilled nursing facility with 130 beds recently sold in North Carolina. It was 53% occupied and not stabilized at the time of sale. According to LevinPro LTC, the purchase price was one of the highest per-bed prices we have seen in the state, at $21 million, or $161,500 per bed. The seller, a North Carolina-based owner/developer that had owned the facility since its construction in 1991, was divesting to exit the business and retire. The company that was managing the facility at the time of the sale was a multi-generational, one-state operator with multiple facilities in its portfolio. Despite volatility in the Medicaid rate, and capex needs, Stan Klos III of 3G Healthcare Real Estate... Read More »Schedule a demo
