In this 2,213 word interview, exclusively in the Wall Street Transcript, Mr. Mendelsohn details how to create a successful medical real estate business.
“We currently have over 240 properties, and as I said, most of them are in senior housing. We try to curate our mix, if you will, but being a REIT is a very opportunistic business. You have to play the cards that you’re dealt, and the types of deals that you want to do are not always available or not always available at a price that makes sense for your cost of capital.
We try very hard to make all of our acquisitions accretive. There is a school of thought where an acquisition doesn’t need to be accretive in the beginning and that you’ll get a return through property appreciation.
Some REITs are exploring that as a business model, but we are very conservative with our investment philosophy and believe that we should only pay a price that allows us to make money year one based on our cost of capital.
The second part of your question, if I had to pick a property type that I could focus on, I would really like to explore owning more behavioral health.”
