  • 60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Mad as Hell

    We are halfway through the year, and I am already angry. Angry at what, you may ask? All the interference from government, both elected officials and the bureaucrats. From people who think they understand how seniors housing should work. From the unions. From the anti-PE firm groups. I always say, do a few 12-hour shifts, or move in for a few... Read More »
Live Oak Bank and HJ Sims Team Up

Live Oak Bank and HJ Sims Team Up

Sometimes to get a deal done you have to get creative and be flexible. It appears that was the case for a recent sale of a 55-unit assisted living and memory care community located in Utah. Of the total, 42 units are assisted living and 13 are memory care. Even though capital sources have opened up, to get maximum leverage, if that is what you want or need, your lending groups can get flexible.  Live Oak Bank and HJ Sims teamed up to provide the financing solution for the buyer of this community, a regional owner/operator with 15+ years of experience that currently manages more than 1,600 units in more than 25 communities across five states in the Mountain West...

Ryan Saul and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage recently facilitated the $3.75 million sale of Life’s Journey Senior Living of Taylorville and Paris in their respective towns in Illinois.  Owned by a publicly-traded REIT, both properties offer memory care services.

SLIB Closes Sale of AL Community in Georgia

SLIB Closes Sale of AL Community in Georgia

The Senior Living Investment Brokerage team of Brad Clousing and Dan Geraghty closed the sale of an assisted living community in Milton, Georgia, that was in the middle of lease-up when the pandemic hit last Spring. Featuring 94 units and 124 beds, including 77 assisted living and 17 memory care units, the community opened in 2017 at a time when there was a lot of competition north of Atlanta. It had not reached stabilization by the time COVID-19 and economic lockdowns further challenged the effort. The local developer/operator had reached their investment horizon and chose to sell the community to a Tennessee-based operator looking to expand their presence in the Southeast. The purchase...

Monarch Advisors Finances Two Texas Transactions

Monarch Advisors Finances Two Texas Transactions

Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors helped finance a couple of Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s latest deals in Texas, which we highlighted last week. Cascades Healthcare, a Provo, Utah-based owner/operator, announced two separate acquisitions for four total skilled nursing facilities in Texas for a combined $26.545 million, or $41,400 per bed. Mr. Blanc secured a $21 million acquisition loan from a national commercial finance company to support the deal. There is also a $3.5 million earn-out feature that brings the loan-to-cost to around 92%. We’re not seeing leverage like that very often these days.  The loan comes with a three-year term and interest only payments for the first two years.... Read More »
Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Three More Transactions

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Three More Transactions

As of the writing of this, Senior Living Investment Brokerage has now closed 39 seniors housing and care transactions in 2021. Their total for the whole year of 2020: 39 deals.

Pushing them to that number were three transactions in the Southwest announced in quick succession.   The first was an assisted living/memory care sale in Las Vegas, Nevada, handled by Vince Viverito, Jason Punzel and Brad Goodsell. Built in 2016 by a local developer (who is now the seller), the community has 119 beds in 98 units. A third-party operator managed the community, but the buyer, a national private equity fund, will bring in a... Read More »
