Products and Services

• Sale-Leasebacks:

• Mortgage Financing:

This service involves LTC offering loans secured by the borrower's property, allowing operators to finance the purchase or refinance existing properties. Such loans are focused on the seniors housing and health care sectors, providing financial liquidity for expansion or improvement.

LTC engages in joint ventures with operators or developers to finance new constructions or acquire existing properties. This collaborative approach allows for shared investment opportunities in the growing market of senior housing and health care facilities.
