Jeff Binder and Patrick Byrne Close Skilled Nursing Facility Transaction in Illinois

Patrick Byrne and Jeff Binder have announced the sale of a 99 bed Skilled Nursing Facility in Southern Illinois. The facility, constructed in 1971, is located in a rural town with a population of approximately 1,000 but draws residents from the entire county. Marketing of the facility was enhanced by assumable HUD debt. The Transfer of Physical Assets took nearly eight months to complete. During the process the facility's performance improved considerably. The Seller is a national owner/operator that acquired the facility in 2006. The Buyer is a regional operator based near the asset that will be able to create some economies of scale by absorbing this property into their current operations.

Deals picking up

First quarter brought concern about little inventory on the market. We are selling all skilled nursing and assisted living we represent. Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. is off to a great start and set to have a record year in 2010. Fortunately, proposals and new inventory has picked up dramatically over the last month. Lending and equity are showing strong signs of deploying capital in Seniors Housing. I would encourage you to think about selling any undesirable assets or capitalize on divesting any performing properties in the current environment.

I would be happy to put together a confidential analysis for any properties you may consider divesting. Contact Ryan Saul at saul@seniorlivingbrokerage.com for more information.
