Live Oak Bank and HJ Sims Team Up
Sometimes to get a deal done you have to get creative and be flexible. It appears that was the case for a recent sale of a 55-unit assisted living and memory care community located in Utah. Of the total, 42 units are assisted living and 13 are memory care. Even though capital sources have opened up, to get maximum leverage, if that is what you want or need, your lending groups can get flexible. Live Oak Bank and HJ Sims teamed up to provide the financing solution for the buyer of this community, a regional owner/operator with 15+ years of experience that currently manages more than 1,600 units in more than 25 communities across five states in the Mountain West...

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: How Many Waves Can There Be?
Just when we thought we were emerging from the pandemic crisis, the news seems to be getting worse about this Delta variant. The good news, at least for seniors housing providers, is that it is a much younger population that is getting hit, not senior care residents because they are almost all vaccinated. Hellooooo. A few months ago, we wrote that the southern, and maybe southeastern region would lead the census charge from the lows in March. Unfortunately, the positivity and hospitalization rates with the Delta variant have been the highest in the southern states, with Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri leading the way, and not in a good way. The region also suffers from some of... Read More »
