We’ll want some questions answered when we hit the ground in Nashville, too. Like will prices for core, Class-A assets rise enough to force more investors into the Class-B/value-add space, and increase prices for those assets in 2026? Or, will the continued resident rate...

Jeremy Warren of Montgomery Intermediary Group reported an active end of winter, closing a handful of debt transactions for clients in Illinois and Kentucky. First, he helped the owner of a 77-bed skilled nursing facility in Kentucky refinance existing acquisition debt following a successful operational turnaround.
