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%.

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 »
