Local Doctor Invests in Iowa Assisted Living

Local Doctor Invests in Iowa Assisted Living

Not unlike the 2020 Democratic field, Nick Cacciabando and Jeff Binder of Senior Living Investment Brokerage descended on Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to close the sale of an assisted living community. Originally built in 1910 as a private residence, the community was renovated, expanded and converted to assisted living in 1995, and now features 42 units. Currently, it operates at a 9% margin on over $1.6 million of revenues, with an occupancy around 82%. Rents could be increased, but only by so much given the community’s relative age and middle-income market. The selling entity was a group of aging, local investors looking to realize their investment objectives. They sold the asset to a local... Read More »
Local Doctor Buys Rural Texas Assisted Living

Local Doctor Buys Rural Texas Assisted Living

Using his expertise in the Texas M&A market, Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold an assisted living community in rural east Texas for $2.8 million, or $56,000 per unit. Originally built in 1994, the 50-unit community is the only licensed assisted living property in Franklin County. It includes 68 licensed Type A beds, and at the time of marketing, it was about 58% occupied, generating about $50,000 annually in EBITDAR on over $840,000 in revenues. Its independent owner/operator was looking to exit the seniors housing industry, ultimately selling the community to a local doctor. That medical knowledge can’t hurt in turning the community around.

A large Missouri-based skilled nursing operator just increased its scale in the region with the purchase of a 136-bed skilled nursing/assisted living facility in Pacific, Missouri. Jeff Binder and Patrick Byrne of Senior Living Investment Brokerage facilitated the transaction, generating eight offers for the facility. Originally built in 1986, the SNF portion features 120 beds and is in good condition, considering its age. A 16-unit assisted living wing was added in 2005. Operations could be improved across the board, with occupancy sitting at 80% and the operating margin just above 6% on nearly $6.6 million of revenues. Those financials do not reflect a sizeable Medicaid rate increase... Read More »

Clousing Sizzles in the Southeast

The summer heat isn’t getting to Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage, who recently closed two transactions in the Southeast.

A Northeast owner/operator entered the Georgia market with its purchase of the... Read More »
Clousing Arranges Second Savannah Sale This Year

Clousing Arranges Second Savannah Sale This Year

Closing his second senior living transaction in Savannah this year, Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a large senior living community located just 10 minutes away from the historic center downtown. Built in 1986 and 1998, the 209-unit community features a majority of independent living units (146), but assisted living and memory care rooms too. Plus, the previous owner, HJ Sims, recently converted its personal care license to an assisted living license, giving the buyer added flexibility when it comes to acuity types. That should help as they embark on a plan to increase occupancy (from its current 74%) and boost the operating margin (from about 16% on $4.9 million... Read More »
