Separating the business from the building in an ALF sale

Challenge: An assisted living facility owner needed a marketable price, but buyers value the operating business and the real estate differently, and lenders underwrite them differently.
Strategy: Review the P&L, then value the business and the real estate separately so each can be defended in buyer and lender conversations.
Solution: An investor-grade investment summary presented both values clearly, giving qualified buyers a faster path to a serious offer.
