When BPM Senior Living Company decided to permanently finance its assisted living/memory care community in Milwaukie, Oregon, Lancaster Pollard had the solution. Matt Lindsay and Doug Harper of Lancaster Pollard successfully arranged a $5.3 million loan from Fannie Mae, going from engagement to closing in under 60 days.

Lancaster Pollard’s Transaction Triple

Lancaster Pollard’s Transaction Triple

The team at Lancaster Pollard posted a trifecta of Fannie Mae/HUD transactions across the middle of the country. The largest of the three, an $11 million Fannie Mae loan with a 10-year fixed-rate term, was arranged for an assisted living/memory care community in Omaha, Nebraska.

Senior care campus gets HUD and Fannie Mae financing

One size didn’t fit all at a senior care campus in Boise, Idaho when it decided to refinance its existing debt through two lending agencies: HUD and Fannie Mae.

Then, for the skilled nursing facility, Walker & Dunlop arranged a $9 million HUD mortgage with a 35-year term. Built in 1986, the facility... Read More »
