How Will COVID-19 Affect Multifamily Mergers And Acquisitions?

The economic effects of COVID-19 are happening so fast it's nearly impossible to keep up. Marcus & Millichap, a real estate investment firm based in Calabasas, California recently released a special report outlining its views on what multifamily investors, owners, developers, and operators can expect as the crisis continues to unfold.

Besides predicting the market's rush to the safety of bonds, the report also pointed out that "historically, pandemic outbreaks such as SARS, the H1N1 'swine flu,' and the 'avian flu' generated short-term market instability that moved toward stabilization over the following three to six months."
