High-Quality SNF Refinances With Capital One

Capital One Refinances Illinois Supportive Living Facility

Joshua Rosen of Capital One successfully refinanced a large supportive living facility in Des Plaines, Illinois (Chicago MSA).

They then built a 71-bed skilled nursing wing in 2018, adding to the existing 162 AL and 150 supportive living units. The refinance wasn’t straightforward, as part of the property was in a floodway. But Mr. Rosen identified an opportunity to legally change the survey plat to carve out a floodway, enabling the refinance to continue. The borrower, a repeat Capital One customer, received a $28.4 million HUD... Read More »
