Strategy

BHCP’s strategy capitalizes on a sophistication arbitrage opportunity wherein BHCP acquires underperforming facilities from legacy owner-operators and transitions them to more sophisticated operators.

BHCP targets value-add opportunities at an attractive basis to ensure long term flexibility in facility programming.

Through this strategy, BHCP believes it is well positioned to maximize profitability by optimizing revenue and decreasing expenses.

Upon stabilization, BHCP intends to refinance the facility with long-term, non-recourse, fixed-rate HUD financing – potentially allowing for a take-out of virtually all of the initial capital stack.
