Local Owner in Georgia Exits Senior Care Market
Two Senior Living Investment Brokerage teams facilitated an owner’s exit of the senior care industry with the sale of two assisted living communities in Georgia to two different buyers. First, the local owner/operator sold its small community in Cartersville, northeast of Atlanta. Built during the last assisted living construction boom in the early-2000s, the 25-unit community was renovated in 2015. Since then, it has remained well occupied exceeding 90%. A Northeast-based owner/operator looking to expand its portfolio in the Peach State paid an undisclosed sum for the community. The other transaction saw a 58-unit community in Dalton (northeast corner of Georgia) sell to an... Read More »
Truist Refinances Colorado CCRC
Truist closed its first CCRC deal in the state of Colorado, acting as sole lender of a $50 million refinance of a property in Boulder, near Denver.

Despite COVID-19, HUD Lean Records Strong 2020 Fiscal Year
This was not another ordinary fiscal year for HUD ended September 30, but the LEAN program still ended with nearly $4.4 billion in closings. That follows more than $3.7 billion in closings in the fiscal year 2019, which itself represented a slight increase over 2018’s volume. To reach such a high under the current circumstances, with in-person property inspections virtually impossible for months and HUD employees adjusting to working at home like so many of us, took great flexibility and a lot of hard work to get done. Greystone was head and shoulders atop the list this fiscal year, both in terms of transactions closed and in dollar volume. The firm closed 75 loans totaling more than... Read More »
Blueprint Handles Tacoma, Washington Transaction

McFarlin Group Raises Fund For Distressed Debt Deals
One result of the pandemic that we are sure of will be a rise in the number of sales for distressed assets in the next couple of years. Many communities that were already struggling before COVID-19, because of overbuilding, increased labor costs and other factors, will certainly have difficulty generating the cash flow necessary to service their debt or lease obligations, especially if the occupancy recovery is as slow as some at the NIC Conference are estimating. One company, McFarlin Group, has already announced that they will be committing $100 million to the purchase of distressed loans for seniors housing communities and has so far closed on two deals. McFarlin Group, which was... Read More »
SLIB Closes Columbia, South Carolina Transaction
Bradley Clousing and Jason Punzel of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale of a senior living community in Columbia, South Carolina.

It now features 38 independent living, 32 assisted living and 22 memory care units, with a full range of amenities and an attractive physical plant. There are seven buildings on the 6.86-acre site. Occupancy was just 66%, while the community operated at an 8% margin on nearly $2.1 million of... Read More »
Blueprint Sells SNF Portfolio in Receivership
After already serving as interim manager of a portfolio of four skilled nursing facilities in receivership, an East Coast-based skilled nursing operator found a capital partner to acquire the portfolio. Steve Thomes, Chris Hyldahl and Gideon Orion of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors were engaged by the Massachusetts-based court-appointed receiver to handle the sales process. All built between 1967 and 1975, these facilities total 572 beds and are located throughout eastern Massachusetts. Following a slight rebound in operations when the current operator stepped into its role in mid-2019, COVID-19 negatively impacted operations across the portfolio (no surprise there given the...
