Behavioral Health Properties is a real estate and M&A advisory firm that works exclusively with behavioral health operators, investors, and private equity sponsors. BHP structures sale-leasebacks, advises on acquisitions and sell-side transactions, selects and secures de novo sites, sources NNN investment opportunities, and supports PE real estate diligence, confirming zoning and flagging regulatory risk that generalist advisors miss because behavioral health is the only sector BHP works in.
This sector isn't like the others
Most real estate and M&A advisors treat behavioral health like any other commercial property or healthcare deal. It isn't. Licensing tied to the property, Certificate of Need requirements, zoning that determines which levels of care a site can actually run — these aren't footnotes, they're the parts of the deal that kill it late if nobody catches them early.
BHP works in this sector and no other. Whatever side of the table you're on — operator, investor, or sponsor — that's the difference.
