Blueprint’s Deal Bonanza

Blueprint’s Deal Bonanza

by | Sep 16, 2019 10:15 am | Acquisitions

Was it just us, or did it seem like every time we left a meeting at the NIC Conference in Chicago last week, there was another Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors announcement in our inbox? We exaggerate…a little. The firm announced four deals during the conference, starting with one that we had learned about last month that saw Regional Health Properties sell four skilled nursing facilities in Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma to affiliates of MED Healthcare Partners for $28.5 million. The existing operators were retained at all locations. Brooks Blackmon, Trent Gherardini and Ben Firestone led the way on the deal. Then, in Inman, South Carolina, Blueprint sold two skilled nursing... Read More »

HHC Finance Sizzles Again This Summer

HHC Finance Sizzles Again This Summer

by | Jul 17, 2019 6:00 am | Financings

Housing & Healthcare Finance (HHC Finance) has had a busy summer, closing three HUD refinances totaling $56 million, so far. All three loans were arranged for skilled nursing clients and featured interest rates substantially below 4%. Based on the rumblings (public or otherwise) from the Federal Reserve, it appears borrowers will have at least a couple more years of low-rate HUD debt as a financing option. Let the lenders rejoice! The facilities being refinanced are located in Pennsylvania (181 beds), Massachusetts (55 beds) and New Jersey (313 beds) and are all over 35 years old. Read More »

They were closed by the firm’s Capital Advisory Group, led by Isaac Haas and Neil Gamss. Read More »

Several years after acquiring a 160-bed skilled nursing facility, an experienced owner/operator is refinancing with the help of Housing & Healthcare Finance. Working through HUD, HHC Finance closed a $28 million loan for the greater New York area facility, replacing higher-rate and shorter-term debt in the process. Since the acquisition, the owner has significantly improved operations and obtained a five-star rating from CMS. Still, renovations were needed at the 20-year old facility, and the HUD loan will provide for around $7 million in improvements. Read More »
