Two Skilled Nursing Facilities in East Texas Sell To Regional Operator

Amidst the backdrop of the healthcare sector’s recovery from pandemic-induced challenges, Blueprint, an advisory firm, has played a pivotal role in the sale of two value-add skilled nursing facilities situated in East Texas.

A regional owner-/operator has purchased two east Texas facilities, comprising a total of 320 licensed beds, after the facilities experienced a resurgence in occupancy levels following historical lows and staffing difficulties.

Blueprint facilitated the transaction for the facilities, which are located in close proximity, approximately 15 minutes apart, with strong reputations within their respective markets, according to Blueprint.

Blueprint said a notable factor contributing to the attractiveness of the deal was the assumable HUD debt, featuring an appealing interest rate of 2.90% and a remaining term of over 25 years. This financial aspect added to the appeal of the investment opportunity.
