• 60 Seconds with Swett: October Smashes M&A Record

    We were predicting a record-breaking end to the year in terms of M&A activity, but we are not sure we expected a 100+ deal month, with 110 transactions and counting. Just to put that in perspective, the previous record for any month was 77 deals in October of last year, and only four months had previously broken the 70-deal barrier. So this... Read More »

Monticello Refinances New SNF in Virginia

Monticello Refinances New SNF in Virginia

Monticello Asset Management headed to Rural Retreat, Virginia in the southwest part of the state to arrange first lien debt financing for a 120-bed skilled nursing facility. Working on behalf of the experienced owner/operator, which currently operates 26 facilities in five states (including seven facilities and 915 total licensed beds in Virginia), Monticello and its affiliates provided a $13.5 million loan. It came with a five-year term. The facility was built in 2014, which is quite new for skilled nursing, especially in rural communities. Assuming a standard 70% loan-to-value, that means the per-bed value of the facility surpasses $110,000 per bed. Given its age, that makes... Read More »
ALP Community Obtains Financing from Monticello

ALP Community Obtains Financing from Monticello

Monticello Asset Management, a specialized private real estate and asset-based lender, asset manager and servicer, just provided $40 million in 10-year, first lien debt for an assisted living community in the Bronx, New York. The 256-bed community participates in the Assisted Living Program, which was introduced in the state around 30 years ago. In short, the ALP program provides a higher level of care (close to skilled nursing) in an assisted living setting for Medicaid residents. It’s a win for the state, which can reimburse nearly skilled nursing level care at a lower rate, and for the providers, which can take in Medicaid residents at a significantly higher rate. Even with the higher... Read More »

ALP Community Obtains Financing from Monticello

Monticello Magic

To finance the acquisition of two skilled nursing facilities in New Jersey, Monticello Asset Management worked on behalf of a previous client to provide first lien debt financing for the deal.

The 2019 acquisition was funded by $37.8 million in financing, but Monticello’s asset-based lending group, Monticello Commercial Capital, also provided a $3 million working capital loan to the operating companies. In the end, the borrower expects to refinance through HUD. Read More »
