Capital Senior Ventures Acquires Final Kindred Skilled Nursing Facility

Capital Senior Ventures made a bet on the Las Vegas skilled nursing market, acquiring a state-of-the-art skilled nursing facility in the city for an undisclosed price.

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 »
Capital Funding Refinances Baltimore Skilled Nursing Facility

Capital Funding Refinances Baltimore Skilled Nursing Facility

Over four years after acquiring a 105-bed skilled nursing facility in Baltimore, Maryland, its owner decided to refinance with the help of Tim Eberhardt and Erik Howard of Capital Funding. Part of a three-property portfolio, this facility was built in 1976 and enjoyed consistently strong operating results. The owner had built up equity at the property, and through the refinance was able to deleverage the other two assets in the portfolio, including the repayment of “non-project” debt. 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 »
