• The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for... Read More »

HUD, Fannie Mae and A Bank, Oh My!

Spreading the love this month, Lancaster Pollard worked with HUD, Fannie Mae and a bank to close its latest three transactions. Quintin Harris led the way on the HUD deal, closing an $11.7 million refinance to replace short-term, floating-rate commercial bank debt on a 95-unit senior living community in St. Michael, Minnesota.

On the Fannie Mae financing, Casey Moore arranged a 12-year loan for an 89-bed memory care community in Olympia, Washington. Originally built in 1996, the community had an existing 10-year Fannie Mae loan that... Read More »
