Five Facility Portfolio Finds New Operator in Northern California

Five Facility Portfolio Finds New Operator in Northern California

A portfolio of five skilled nursing facilities in northern California found a new operating tenant thanks to Nick Stahler of The Knapp-Stahler Group of Marcus & Millichap. Located around the Sacramento area, the facilities feature more than 300 beds and are owned by a private family office. They were originally leased to a regional skilled nursing operator, but that operator was primarily focused on the Southern California market. Operations actually improved slightly during the pandemic due to a higher Medicare census and the three-day stay waiver. But occupancy and expenses did worsen over the last two years. At close, occupancy was 82% with a 28% quality mix. A new regional operator... Read More »
New SNF Sells in Texas

New SNF Sells in Texas

A brand-new skilled nursing facility changed hands in central Texas, with the help of Nick Stahler and Austin Diamond of The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap.

Occupancy was 50%, and there was some positive cash flow, but the facility was heading towards stabilization. Given its newer vintage and lack of new competition in the area, we imagine once stabilized, it could operate at a healthy margin. The facility is also enrolled in QIPP, which should help.  Another regional owner with a presence in the state bought the facility for $7.0 million,... Read More »
