SNF Replaces Existing Financing with New HUD Arrangement
JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital arranged a couple of financings for two skilled nursing facilities in Texas. First, a 94-bed facility in the Wichita Falls market refinanced its existing acquisition financing with a new $8.5 million HUD arrangement. Built in the 1970s, the facility was performing well. It was purchased in December 2024 for $9.35 million, or $99,500 per bed, with a 100% loan-to-purchase-price bridge loan.

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Record M&A Year, Again
You may start to get tired of hearing us talk about all the records being set, but we will never tire of it. As of November 11, we have passed last year’s record of total acquisitions in the seniors housing and care sector, now standing at over 720 deals, according to LevinPro LTC. And we thought last year was an amazing year! The good news is that pricing has been relatively reasonable so far, mostly because of still-high interest rates and lenders not getting too aggressive. What we don’t know is how long this will last. “Stupid” money that has appeared in previous rising markets has not yet reared its ugly head, but that will probably change. Everyone is looking for a growing market,... Read More »

Despite volatility in the Medicaid rate, and capex needs, Stan Klos III of 3G Healthcare Real Estate... Read More »
