Bravo Property Trust Offers Mezzanine Loans of $500,000 to $20 Million for Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, Multifamily and Build-to-Rent Owners and Operators

Mezzanine loans from $500,000 to $20 million, often closed alongside a Bravo bridge loan, give skilled nursing and assisted living operators more proceeds and one team from term sheet to closing

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bravo Property Trust, the direct lending affiliate of national HUD lender Bravo Capital, provides mezzanine loans of $500,000 to $20 million, with terms of up to 36 months, to owners and operators of skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, multifamily properties and build-to-rent communities nationwide. A mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the property-owning entity rather than by a mortgage, and it fills the gap between the senior loan and the sponsor's equity, so owners can buy, recapitalize or reposition properties with less cash in the deal.

Healthcare is a core focus. Skilled nursing and assisted living operators often need extra capital to acquire a facility, fund improvements or carry the business plan until the property is ready for permanent financing. Bravo's mezzanine loans sit behind the senior loan to cover that gap, and Bravo's experience with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) healthcare financing helps operators plan the path to long-term debt.

Bravo's mezzanine loans range from $500,000 to $20 million, with terms of up to 36 months, interest only. Each loan is secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the property-owning entity. Bravo often underwrites the mezzanine loan together with its own bridge financing, giving borrowers one team, one set of diligence and one closing.

"Owners today need lenders who can move quickly and size the whole capital stack, not just the first mortgage," said Aaron Krawitz, Founder and CEO of Bravo Capital and Bravo Property Trust.

Bravo's mezzanine financing is in active demand across the sectors the firm knows best. Senior care operators use it for extra capital behind the first loan while a facility's operations improve. Sponsors also use it to close acquisitions when senior proceeds fall short, to fund value-add plans while a property stabilizes, and to carry build-to-rent communities through lease-up. Because Bravo underwrites both the senior and mezzanine pieces in-house, it can quote and close both pieces on one timeline.
