Evans Senior Investments has handled the sale of a struggling skilled nursing facility in Clark Township, New Jersey.

So, it was at last on the tail end of lease-up with census reaching 80% when ownership decided to refinance its existing construction loan before maturity. A $10.5 million refinance enabled the borrower to also replenish its interest reserves and pay off over $500,000 of tax liens. The loan came with a seven-year term, fixed interest rate at 4.75% and one year of interest... Read More »CareTrust REIT Planning a Behavioral Health Conversion
