Capital Funding Group (CFG) successfully closed a significant $19.8 million bridge-to-HUD loan, marking a strategic move in the acquisition of a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Virginia.

“The successful closing of this financing underscores our leadership in the bridge-to-HUD lending industry,” said CFG Managing Director, Real Estate Finance, Tim Eberhardt, in a press release. “With more than 30 years of offering a one-stop-shop lending experience, we have a competitive edge and embrace our entrepreneurial approach to simplify the loan process, so our clients can seamlessly grow their businesses to reach their goals.”

The financial landscape of the acquisition was reshaped on December 28, 2023, with the completion of the bridge-to-HUD loan, CFG said in a press release. This funding played a pivotal role in activating an in-the-money purchase option, ensuring a smooth acquisition process.

This financial milestone comes on the heels of CFG’s recent announcement of the closure of a $9.5 million HUD loan, a move that supported the refinancing of an existing bridge loan executed by CFG. The refinancing transaction was instrumental in supporting a 173-bed skilled nursing facility in Pennsylvania.

Wisconsin Healthcare Portfolio Acquisition Bolstered by Favorable Reimbursement Rates

A Wisconsin-focused owner-operator acquired the Dove Healthcare portfolio. The portfolio, located throughout the State of Wisconsin, comprises eight assets with a total of 526 beds/units dedicated to skilled nursing and assisted living.

Blueprint, which facilitated the sale, said the acquisition positions the new owner as a dominant player in the region, with operational synergies and a significant market share.

The Dove Healthcare portfolio includes 304 licensed skilled nursing beds, 104 Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) units, and capacity for 118 Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) residents.

Blueprint said the due diligence period for the acquisition coincided with significant statewide Medicaid reimbursement rate enhancements in Wisconsin, effective July 1st, 2023.

This development, coupled with rate increases for private pay RCAC/CBRF residents ranging from 8% to 15% as of October 1st, 2022, has generated substantial revenue upside for the acquirer. These favorable financial conditions have also facilitated the negotiation of attractive financing terms.
