MURFREESBORO, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–National Health Investors, Inc.

The community was purchased for $9.34 million, including closing costs of approximately $134,000, at an initial yield of 7.23% and was added to the existing master lease with 41 Management, LLC, a growing Midwest operator owned by Thomas Ostrom.

The 41 Management, LLC master lease covers five communities in Minnesota including four properties that NHI transitioned from Bickford on October 1, 2019. The master lease is for 15 years, includes two 5-year renewal options, and has fixed annual escalators at 2.5%.

NHI President and CEO Eric Mendelsohn stated, “We are very pleased to expand our relationship with 41 Management through these transactions. We expect that the Minnesota portfolio will be a good fit for Tom Ostrom and his team as they grow their footprint in the Midwest. Further, that transition puts Bickford in a better position to focus on their core portfolio which, as we have discussed in the past, continues to show improvement.”
