Purchasing a care or retirement home isn’t like buying a typical residential property. Since care homes are income-generating businesses, financing is typically structured as a commercial mortgage or a business loan secured by real estate.
Mortgage Options Include:
- Commercial Mortgages – Secured against the property, with terms based on cash flow and property value.
- Business Loans – Secured by the business assets and/or property.
- Private Lending – In cases where traditional financing doesn’t fit, private lenders may offer flexible terms.
Key Factors Lenders Consider:
- Property cash flow (Net Operating Income)
- Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
- Buyer’s experience operating care businesses (if applicable)
- Property condition and zoning compliance
- Business licenses and financials (where required)
Our Role:
- Connect you with lenders experienced in financing retirement homes and care facilities.
- Help you understand how financing affects deal structure, including down payments, amortization, and qualification.
- Coordinate with lenders to ensure the purchase closes smoothly.
