Another Big Sale For Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors
Fresh off their top spot in our 2017 broker rankings (in terms of number of deals, properties and units/beds transacted), Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors seems to be eyeing that top spot for 2018 too, announcing that it represented a public REIT in its recent disposition of 20 Genesis Healthcare-operated skilled nursing facilities. The REIT ended up being Sabra Health Care REIT, and the deal itself doesn’t come as a surprise, as Sabra announced earlier in 2017 that, in an attempt to diversify its operator base (and lessen its share of Genesis properties), it was marketing for sale 35 properties under a memorandum of understanding with Genesis. These 20 facilities (part of the... Read More »
Sabra Health Care REIT Sells 20 More Genesis SNFs
After already announcing that it has put on the market 35 of its properties leased to Genesis Healthcare, Sabra Health Care REIT has successfully sold 20 of them to an undisclosed buyer for $103 million.

With this deal, which featured skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, Sabra’s annual rent from Genesis is reduced by $9.3 million. Plus, the deal is on top of the sale of four other facilities under the memorandum of understanding in the second half of 2017.... Read More »
Legacy Tenant Capital Structures Create REIT Turmoil
It all started when HCP, Inc. completed a series of rent negotiations with HCR ManorCare, but to no avail. It just wasn’t enough for a long-term solution, and they ended up spinning the HCRMC portfolio into a new entity (Quality Care Properties) that was supposed to be a REIT but may end up not being one depending on the final solution. Even after those lowered rents, HCRMC defaulted on some payments to QCP, and it got messier after that. As everyone now knows, that was the tip of the iceberg. Practically every major REIT has reported “issues” with tenants, ranging from covenants broken, inability to make rent payments, and high likelihood of not being able to make rent payments in the...
