ALF Rule:
http://www.mcknightsseniorliving.com/news/flor ida-governor-gives-assisted-living-communities- 60-days-to-get-generators/article/689315/
The Governor of Florida has imposed an emergency rule (here) that requires all assisted living facilities and skilled nursing facilities to have generators with enough fuel to sustain operations and comfortable temperatures for at least 96 hours after a power outage.
If a facility is not already in compliance, we will either hold off doing the loan or require it to be a critical repair…unless the facility has plans, specs, permit approval, contractor in hand and the work will be finished prior to November 15th.
Contact WLM if the facility is not currently in compliance.
Excerpt from rule: (This is from the governor’s rule in
Florida. Note it covers the criteria of what the backup generator and extra fuel needs to cover.)
(a) The acquisition of a sufficient generator or sufficient generators to ensure that current licensees of nursing homes will be equipped to ensure ambient temperatures will be maintained at 80 degrees or less for a period of a minimum of ninety-six (96) hours in the event of the loss of electrical power.
(b) The acquisition and safe maintenance of sufficient fuel to ensure that in an emergency situation the generators can function to maintain ambient temperatures at 80 degrees or less for a period of a minimum of ninety-six (96) hours in the event of the loss of electrical power.
(c) The acquisition of services necessary to install, maintain, and test the equipment and its functions to ensure the safe and sufficient operation of the generator system installed in the nursing home

CAUTION ON SPECIAL USE FACILITIES:
Special Use Facilities are facilities that serve a particular tenant population (e.g., behavioral health care facilities, drug/ alcohol rehab, psychiatric hospitals, eating disorder facilities, hospice, etc.).
Risk factors the lender should address, include without limitation:
1. The long-term viability of funding sources for this client group;
2. The facility’s ability to maintain stabilized occupancy over the long term, and/or the ability to fill the beds occupied by residents with methadone addiction, should the funding source cease; this analysis should include a demonstration that a market exists for increasing reliance on a more “traditional” SNF resident;
3. The extent of the successful experience of the operator in dealing with the contemplated population;
4. How the principals of this facility address the higher risk associated with the targeted population (e.g. higher Professional Liability Insurance, etc.); and
5. The facility’s capacity to continue servicing the debt in the event that market/provider payment changes dictate that alternative/modified uses of the subject portion of the facility be pursued.
Yes, The lender has provided evidence that this project is regulated by the state, pursuant to the Keys Amendment.
Yes, The project meets the Board and Care Requirements in the Section 232 Handbook, Section II, Chapter 2.2.D.3 through 2.2.D.8.

Tax Abatement: Underwritten expenses should include all real estate taxes without abatements or incentives, except when allowed by 4232.1, Rev 1, Section II Production, Chapter 5.5.
NOI for Value must use full market rate real estate taxes—as opposed to PILOT or abated taxes—to reflect a value for a typical owner or operator that may not benefit from an abatement.

Appraisal (Exhibit: 2-1)
PCNA (Exhibit: 2-3)
Appraisal Review when over $25M loan amount
Loan term is the lesser of 75% times the remaining economic life or 35 years maximum. If calculation for remaining economic life is less than 47 years, a shorter loan term is needed.
Items to take into account: Actual age of property, typical life and effective age, renovations and dates
For example, typical life is 55 years;
actual age is 30 years;
effective age is 15 years;
Then remaining economic life is 40 years (55 years -15 years) and the loan term is limited to 30 years
Note: The Appraisal determines a Remaining Economic Life, as opposed to the PCNA’s Remaining Useful Life of the building and its components. Generally, the Appraisal’s Remaining Economic Life is used because it captures the facility’s ability to continue to generate income.
Factors to consider and discuss as needed in LCM:
Older building with limited repairs noted in PCNA; is it because facility has been well-maintained to be better than its age, or do the limited repairs dictate a shorter term?
If questions remain on loan term, consider the project’s financial performance for last 3 years as well as market indication in the appraisal report. What is age, condition, Has justification been given for the determination of the subject’s remaining economic life, and do you agree with the conclusion?

Payor Mix review not necessary on projects that are entirely Private Pay.
Lender Narrative should discuss any departures from historical reimbursements, mix, and trends.
For SNFs, review Medicare mix in particular, as the higher reimbursement rates have greater impact on NOI.
Is the concluded mix in line with historic levels and competitors?
Does the subject compete well in the market relative to unit mix, age, condition, and care reputation?
If an increased payor mix level is projected (especially higher income), is there adequate justification that the subject facility can capture more of this market?
Comparables should be facilities with a similar payor mix.
Alternatively, the third-party appraiser can review separate comparable facilities for SNF, AL, dementia care, and/or IL components of facilities with more than one level of resident care.
If project is steadily losing “higher income” payor source mix, this may be a concern. Generally, Medicare beds (and private pay beds) have higher rates (and profit margins) than Medicaid beds.
Discuss if an ALF is participating in a State Medicaid waiver program. If so, is it because they have had occupancy issues, Does the underwritten payor mix seem reasonable as compared to historic levels and competitor facilities, and has the lender adequately discussed it in the Narrative?

The narrative should address any decline in occupancy or below average occupancy.
How does underwritten occupancy percentage compare to historical performance?
Look for any trends or fluctuations in occupancy for last three years—up, down, or stable.
How does subject property’s occupancy rate compare to competition? Does age, condition, unit mix appear to negatively impact the facility in comparison?
Comment on any difference between numbers of licensed versus operating beds.
ALFs may have a higher number of licensed beds to allow for dual occupancy in a unit. Most ALFs operate on single occupancy, but dual licensing could provide additional revenue from second occupant income. Dual occupancy may also be used if a facility participates in a Medicaid waiver program, operating shared units for the typically lower reimbursement amounts.
SNFs could be “banking” beds. In CoN States, or areas where obtaining new bed licensing is difficult, Does the underwritten occupancy seem reasonable as compared to historic levels and competitive facilities, and has the lender adequately discussed it in the Narrative?
Yes, move on

Step Activity Key Point Key Question(s) operators may maintain licensed beds. Consider if the difference provides an operational benefit, i.e.:
operating more marketable semi-private rooms instead of multi-bed wards; operating more private rooms than semi-private rooms for more Medicare revenue, converting room space to therapy space.
However, if the lower number of operational beds seems to be an indication of declining market concerns (review occupancy trend and market narratives), have lender address.
Note: We should have a license for all the licensed beds, as they are pledged as security to the insured mortgage, and they could have value that could be applied to the mortgage principal balance if those bed licenses were sold.
Market Considerations:
What does the appraisal/ORCF appraisal review say about the overall future of the project’s market?
Discuss number of competitors/beds and the average occupancy rate in the PMA, as well as any new competitors entering the market.
Comment on any CoN, moratoria (on new construction, new units, etc.), other barriers to entry, or Medicaid waiver programs (for ALFs).
Discuss facility’s ability to compete in the market and to continue to capture market share at the underwritten level.
The underwriter should clearly understand which facilities are competitors and which are merely comparables that are not true competition to the subject. If that is not clear from the appraisal or the lender narrative, contact the lender for clarification.

B7 Review Cap Rate.
Value = NOI/Cap Rate
Source Document(s)
Lender Narrative (Exhibit: 1-2: Appraisal; Income Capitalization Approach; Expense Analysis)
As a measurement of risk the cap rate is increased when a higher risk is associated with the income stream.
In facilities with a combination of SNF, AL and IL beds/units, a weighted average cap rate should be used. It should be allocated based on underwritten NOI for that portion (not based on the number of beds).
Action:
As with value, assess impact of higher cap rate on underwriting. If applying a higher cap rate to the NOI still results in a loan within the LTV parameter, discuss in Comments, but no need to require adjustments from lender or appraiser.
If a higher cap rate would indicate a mortgage reduction, discuss the issue with WLM and/or ORCF appraiser to determine if the cap rate should be higher than what the lender and third-party appraiser have established based on risks of the project.
Mitigants:
Did the ORCF appraiser find the underwritten cap rate acceptable?

Appraiser.

B8 Compare Underwritten Net Operating Income (NOI) to the subject’s historical NOI.
Source Document(s)
The 92264a-ORCF Criterion E lists the underwritten NOI.
Both historical and underwritten NOI are listed in the Lender Narrative (Appraisal;
Income Capitalization Approach; NOI section).
The NOI necessary to meet a 1.0 DSCR is listed in the Lender Narrative under Sensitivity Analysis.
T-12 Financial tables should be current within 90 days of the Loan Committee Memo.
In determining whether the subject’s mortgage amount is appropriately sized, NOI is a key component.
NOI should reflect the project’s EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent). NOI divided by proposed annual debt service (P + I + MIP) equals the DSCR. The DSCR helps estimate whether the project generates enough revenue to cover the debt payments. The higher the DSCR, the less HUD is concerned about a default.
Updated historical financials should be requested from the lender when data is more than 3 months old. Trailing 12 month financial updates are required, however, year-to-date annualized financials can be used for support, particularly when the year-to-date figures available is a small sample.
Review the NOI trend for the last 3 years. Is it stable, trending up, or trending down? As NOI is a crucial area of review, the lender must provide a very detailed explanation of what has occurred with the NOI.
Appraisal and underwritten NOI conclusions should not be at levels that the property has not achieved before without strong supporting argument(s).
Look for any material fluctuations (over 5% year to year) or negative trends in NOI.
Review subject monthly rents (ALFs) or p.r.d. (SNFs) as compared to historic and comparables’ amounts.
If updated financial tables indicate a material difference from the underwriting presented in the Lender Narrative, the Lender should provide an addendum discussing the change.
Note that Appraisal’s NOI conclusion can sometimes differ from the Lender’s underwritten NOI in terms of replacement reserve amounts, taxes, management fee, and/or when a non-profit is not operating at market norms.
The appraisal conclusion should generally be determined

Is the project a short turnaround?
Yes, Include turnaround examples in the LC Memo.
No, Move on.
In situations where there is a stark contrast in NOI over the 3+ year history, the HUD loan is taking out 100% of the purchase price within 2 years and the appraisal operating margin is higher than what has been achieved in the short time that they have operated the project, include turnaround examples in the LC Memo.
Note that the ORCF appraiser is not to review updated financials unless requested by Underwriter for a significant concern.

Step Activity Key Point Key Question(s) based on market expenses, weighted by the subject’s historic expense levels, where the lender’s conclusion should be derived using facility specific expenses.
If a reduction to the NOI is made by ORCF, perform a test of LTV and NOI to determine if amounts are at or above the ORCF thresholds of 80% LTV and 1.45 DSC.
Also, compare underwritten and historical NOI to the NOI necessary to meet a 1.0 DSCR. The NOI necessary to meet a 1.0 DSCR is the lowest that NOI could fall to and still have the project be able to pay its bills. The greater the difference between the historical NOI and the NOI necessary to meet a 1.0 DSCR, the better.

Mortgage reduction if using more recent NOI figures would result in lower value, impacting LTV.
B9 Check for Supplemental Revenue – IGT, UPL, QASP, QIPP
Source Document(s)
Email Blasts 6/24/15, 6/27/12
IGT_UPL_chart
Some states utilize a financing mechanism allowing for a supplemental payment being made to non-state, government entity (e.g., county hospital) licensed skilled nursing facilities.
These supplemental payments rely not only on continued programmatic availability, but also on the continued viability of the particular operator/management agent relationship.
In order to minimize the risk associated with this financing mechanism:
Do not include the supplemental income stream for
DSCR.
The supplemental income stream is allowed in determination of value. Typically a much higher capitalization rate is applied to this portion of the revenue in concluding value.
Certain programs such as QASP and QIPP have finite time horizons and therefore a bifurcated mortgage may be necessary, with the loan amount attributable to that revenue having a shorter term than the overall mortgage.
Is there supplemental revenue?
No, Move On Yes, and the lender used the required risk mitigation guidance; include the IGT/UPL chart in the LCM and Move On.
Yes, but the lender DID NOT use the required risk mitigation guidance; include in lender’s review comments.

Eligible Debt:
Outstanding mortgage(s) on the property that are at least two years old at the time that HUD begins processing the loan are considered eligible debt. For debt less than two years old, the lender must determine that there was no cash out to the borrower or its principals in order for the debt to be considered eligible debt. Identity of Interest debt must meet debt seasoning requirements. Bridge loans used for an eligible purpose do not need to meet the 2 year seasoning requirement.
Other debt can be other recorded debt such as mechanic’s or tax liens, unrecorded debt directly connected with the project (supported by documentation), costs associated with paying off eligible debt, or Operator debt tied directly to the project.
Debt recently placed (<2 years) against the project and not used for project purposes is only allowable if the application meets the debt seasoning exception requirements outlined in the HB.
Review 4232.1, Loan Sizing chapter, Existing Indebtedness section for more detail. Answers to FAQ’s are also available on HUD.GOV in the Knowledgebase.
