Monarch Advisors Sources Financing for Monterey Community

Monarch Advisors Sources Financing for Monterey Community

Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors continues his Spring activity with the closing of a bank refinance for a small assisted living community in Monterey, California. Featuring 33 beds in 20 units, the community is owned by Songbird Care Homes, a locally-based family owner/operator. Built in 1992, it typically operates at full capacity.   There was both SBA debt and a seller note on the property, and the borrower wished to reduce its debt service costs. So, to refinance the company’s debt and provide additional growth capital, Mr. Blanc sourced a $4.6 million senior loan from a local bank. It came with a seven-year term and competitive fixed interest rate. Proceeds from the loan will provide... Read More »

Monarch Advisors Finances Kansas SNF Acquisition

Monarch Advisors Finances Kansas SNF Acquisition

A local owner/operator purchased a small skilled nursing facility in rural Kansas with an acquisition loan in hand, secured by Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors. An active, national SBA lender provided the financing, which totaled $721,500 and came with a 25-year, fully amortizing term. It came with an interest rate of Prime + 2.25%, and there was also a five-year declining prepayment penalty.  Built in the 1950s, but well maintained, the 45-bed facility was around 86% occupied by the end of 2020.
