Hats Off to Capital Funding

Hats Off to Capital Funding

About three years after it acquired a 140-bed skilled nursing facility in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, Vita Healthcare Group decided to refinance the property with a HUD loan provided by Capital Funding. Craig Casagrande originated the $16.1 million mortgage, which takes out the original $13.36 million bridge loan and $1.5 million working capital loan provided by the firm to support the 2016 acquisition. That original financing included a turnaround component that increased the loan amount based on projected improvements to the facility’s performance. So, assuming a roughly 90% loan-to-cost, the 2016 purchase price can be estimated just below $15 million, or $106,100 per bed. In early 2016, the... Read More »

The Capital Funding team also converted a short-term, non-agency loan into permanent, fixed-rate HUD financing that totaled $12.3 million. Read More »
