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.

It was certified by Medicare and Medicaid, which led Rosen to work with HUD on Medicaid’s Upper Payment Limit program.
