Capital One goes to Princeton

Capital One goes to Princeton

Working with HUD, Joshua Rosen of Capital One originated a $5.9 million refinance for a 95-bed skilled nursing facility in Princeton, Indiana. Originally built in 1968, with an addition in 1974, the facility features 45 semi-private units and five private rooms, and was operated by a local hospital. It was certified by Medicare and Medicaid, which led Rosen to work with HUD on Medicaid’s Upper Payment Limit program.
