There are a LOT of operators that are scrambling at the moment, and dont come close to our buy-box, however I do invest with 3 larger operators (BAM is one of them), and overall I still believe their underwriting is sound and viable.Im not at liberty to discuss details, however I see some good things on the horizon with this group.
