Berkadia Refinances Five SNFs Across the Country

Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare recently announced $47 million in financing for five skilled nursing facilities across the country. Managing Director Jay Healy secured the financing on behalf of the borrowers. First, we have the HUD refinancing of a 40-bed/unit, Medicare-only SNF in Sacramento, California. The $14.45 million, 48% LTV HUD loan retired the construction debt and covered transaction costs for the California-based client. That puts the value of the property at $29.65 million, or around $740,000 per bed. We’ve heard of the high values SNFs command these days, but nothing like that.
