Montgomery Intermediary Group Closes Tennessee Transaction

Andrew Montgomery, Co-Founder and Vice President of Montgomery Intermediary Group, closed the sale of an assisted living community in Tennessee. The community’s owner and operator was looking to retire from the seniors housing business and sold it to another owner/operator in the Nashville area that was looking to expand on its existing portfolio.  When stabilized, the community could be operating above 20% margins, which would amount to more than a 10% cap rate on the deal. That is the opportunity for the buyer, as well as the risk. The purchase price was not disclosed, but we understand it to be around $40,000 per unit. Read More »

Sonida Senior Living Announces Earnings

We are truly glad to see that Sonida Senior Living (formerly Capital Senior Living) is seeing improvements in census, contract labor use, rates and revenues. We are sure outgoing CEO Kim Lody wanted to leave with some upbeat news. Census (84% at quarter end) is now just 50 basis points below the pre-pandemic level. But as we have repeatedly said, pre-pandemic was not so good for the industry. We really have to look at three to four years before the pandemic as a goal. Several quarters ago we found a “typo” in the quarterly earnings release, which made the financial performance look better. After our reporting, they then issued a corrected release. In this second quarter 2022 earnings... Read More »
