M & A Frenzy

We can't keep inventory on our books. There is very little product available to purchase and a flurry of blockbuster deals announced monthly.

What is driving the surge in M & A activity?

1) Low interest rates
2) Sellers taking advantage of current capital gains tax rates
3) Real Estate is a prudent hedge against inflation
4) Large companies need to make more acquisitions to gain market share
5) Seniors Housing REIT stocks outperforming the market and are high yield

What's next? What are your predictions?

If you have thought about selling, please contact me for a confidential proposal to determine value in this ever-changing market.

What is my property worth?

A question clients often ask me.

Whether you are thinking about selling, estate planning, trying to determine current value or comparing your value to other buying opportunities in the market, it is prudent to figure out what your property is worth.

Cheap and available capital has changed the market. Also, there continues to be a shortage of quality opportunities available. The market has changed once again.

Allow me to prepare a confidential proposal to determine current market value of your skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility or portfolio. Please contact Ryan Saul at 630-858-2501 or Email me at (Ryan Saul).
