Back to Sims

A couple of years after purchasing two Rhode Island skilled nursing facilities, Athena Health Care Systems has gone to HUD to refinance the two properties, with the help of HJ Sims. Totaling 280 beds, the skilled nursing facilities combined for an occupancy in the mid-90s. This was not the first time Sims had gotten involved with these facilities. In fact, when Athena acquired them in 2013 and 2014, Sims issued both conventional bank financing and preferred equity to fund the deal. But, the bank debt was scheduled to mature in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and Athena chose to refinance through HUD to take advantage of the current low interest rate environment. So, Sims Mortgage Funding... Read More »

Since introducing the bridge loan program in May 2015, Love has already financed over $65 million in bridge loans, not including $300 million of loans in its pipeline. Read More »

MidCap acquires HUD lender Pineview

With HUD transaction volume expected to rise in the senior care industry, following the recent debt-seasoning requirement (among other) changes, it’s no wonder MidCap Financial wants to establish a presence there in acquiring Pineview Capital Group, an experienced Denver-based HUD lender. With the benefit of its balance sheet, MidCap already boasts an array of services, including life sciences loans, first mortgage financing and mezzanine debt, ranging in size from $5 million to $100 million. This is also an opportunity to expand Pineview’s lending capabilities to a larger client base.
