Matt Alley Closes Another Texas Transaction

Matt Alley Closes Another Texas Transaction

Matt Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage is on a tear in Texas, selling his third skilled nursing facility there in a month. The latest sale involved a value-add SNF in Gainesville selling to a Texas-based owner/operator for $1.5 million, or $17,900 per operational bed. Licensed for 116 beds, this older facility (built in 1971) struggled with local competition and was a geographical outlier for the regional owner/operator seller. Occupancy averaged just 49% in 2018, and the facility operated with just 84 beds, with an 8% margin on about $3.475 million of revenues. However, it has a few things going for it, like being located one mile from North Texas Medical Center of Gainesville,... Read More »
Catholic Charities Community Sale Is Finalized

Catholic Charities Community Sale Is Finalized

After being announced earlier this year, the sale of an 83-bed skilled nursing facility in Jaffrey, New Hampshire has closed thanks to Toby Siefert and Nick Cacciabando of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Originally built in 1976, this facility is only budgeted and staffed for a functional occupancy of 55 beds. That was the choice of the seller, not-for-profit Catholic Charities New Hampshire. Based on those 55 beds, occupancy was just 84%. On top of that, it was losing nearly $400,000 in EBITDAR on over $5.05 million of revenues. The new owner, New York-based MED Healthcare Partners, plans on increasing the census and staffing to utilize more of the licensed beds. Read More »
Alley Nails Two Central Texas Sales

Alley Nails Two Central Texas Sales

Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage closed a couple of his transactions right in his wheelhouse in central Texas. That makes 107 seniors housing and long-term care assets sold in the Lone Star State for Mr. Alley. First, he sold a 174-bed skilled nursing facility in San Marcos (30 miles south of downtown Austin), working on behalf of the previous not-for-profit owner. The SNF market in Texas seems to have become more attractive to buyers, with the QIPP program entering its third year, two bills in the state legislature that if passed would increase the per-Medicaid resident pay out, PDPM going into effect later this year, and CMS’ proposed 2.5% national increase to the...

Clousing and Byrne Close Pair of Peach State Sales

Clousing and Byrne Close Pair of Peach State Sales

Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Bradley Clousing and Patrick Byrne sold a pair of personal care facilities in the Peach State. Both communities were losing money, largely as a result of heavy competition. It didn’t help that they were both built in the late-1990s, which is now considered to be old. The seller, MedProperties, even invested in updates over the years, but in the end decided to exit the operational outliers. The first transaction featured a 64-unit assisted living/memory care community in Sandy Springs, an affluent suburb north of Atlanta, a notoriously overdeveloped market. MedProperties had acquired the community in 2012 for $6.6 million when it was operating at a 21%... Read More »
Monarch Advisors Sources Acquisition Financing for SLIB Deal

Monarch Advisors Sources Acquisition Financing for SLIB Deal

Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a 71-unit memory care community in Vista, California for $22.8 million, or about $321,000 per unit. Helping to push up that price was first, the location in the high-barrier-to-entry market of San Diego County, and second, its solid operations with a 29% margin on $5.85 million of revenues and an 88% occupancy rate. It was built in the last 10 years too, which helps. The single-asset, local owner decided to exit the industry, prompting the sale to a private equity group located in Colorado that owns several other senior living properties and some commercial assets around the country. SLIB’s affiliated... Read More »
