SentinelThe New York Based Sentinel Real Estate Corp. is buying the REIT America First Apartment Investors for 532 million dollars and assuming the debt of the former REIT. The Omaha based company is selling to Sentinel at a 12.2 percent premium.

These deals are coming quickly as the buyout firms in New York have a high liquidity and need to make these investments. The unit price of this purchase is over $73,000 not counting the unnamed commercial property. Not too high unless the properties are in Buffalo or Ohio.
