Kandu Capital Can Do It Again

Kandu Capital Can Do It Again

Last month we reported on the sale of two senior living communities in South Carolina by Kandu Capital and its operating affiliate Bloom Senior Living. They did well on the sale, especially at the tail end of COVID, and we referred to it as maybe a triple based on the price compared with the original cost basis.  It looks like they have done it again, but this time with a property in St. Petersburg, Florida. This 94-unit assisted living and memory care community was operating at breakeven when Bloom purchased it in 2017 from a local owner/operator. It didn’t do much better the next year, but finally made it into reasonable positive territory by 2019, and then doubled... Read More »

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...
