Hats Off to Capital Funding

Hats Off to Capital Funding

About three years after it acquired a 140-bed skilled nursing facility in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, Vita Healthcare Group decided to refinance the property with a HUD loan provided by Capital Funding. Craig Casagrande originated the $16.1 million mortgage, which takes out the original $13.36 million bridge loan and $1.5 million working capital loan provided by the firm to support the 2016 acquisition. That original financing included a turnaround component that increased the loan amount based on projected improvements to the facility’s performance. So, assuming a roughly 90% loan-to-cost, the 2016 purchase price can be estimated just below $15 million, or $106,100 per bed. In early 2016, the... Read More »

Hats off to Vita

Already with three skilled nursing facilities in the state of New York, Vita Healthcare Group (which is based in New Jersey) has in the past seven months worked to grow its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region. Back in June 2015, the company purchased two facilities with 256 total beds in the towns of Columbia and Elizabeth, Pennsylvania for $18.3 million, or $71,445 per bed. Now, Vita has acquired a 140-bed facility in Hatboro (Philadelphia MSA) for an undisclosed price. Both transactions featured strikingly similar facilities. The Columbia and Elizabeth facilities were built in 1978 and 1968, respectively, and were 86% and 79% occupied, respectively. Meanwhile, the Hatboro facility was... Read More »

Capital Funding Group funds two SNF acquisitions

Capital Funding Group recently completed two bridge-to-HUD loans for the acquisition of three skilled nursing facilities. The first, an $18.29 million loan arranged by Craig Casagrande, financed the acquisition of two SNFs in Pennsylvania, totaling 256 beds. If this sounds familiar, you would be right, as the transaction, between buyer, Vita Healthcare Group and seller, a regional senior living operator, was featured in the June issue of The SeniorCare Investor. The two facilities, a 173-bed SNF (90% occupied) built in 1978 and a facility with 45 skilled nursing beds (75% occupied) and 38 personal care beds (85% occupied) built in 1968, with the skilled nursing beds added in 1996, were the...
