PGIM Simplifies Capital Stack at NOLA Facility

Refinancing a complicated capital stack, PGIM Real Estate Finance secured a $10.7 million HUD loan for a 112-bed skilled nursing facility in New Orleans, Louisiana.

PGIM simplified things and significantly reduced the amount of debt with the HUD loan. Located within five miles of seven acute-care hospitals, the facility features 100 units in... Read More »

PM Advisors Refinances Oregon AL Community

KC Peterson of PM Advisors successfully closed a HUD refinance of a 30-unit/36-bed assisted living community in Sutherlin, Oregon.

In addition, ownership had two additional layers of IOI promissory notes on the property. However, the bonds came with a high interest rate of 7.375%, leaving the owners to look for a refinancing...
