Join Alden Pacific Investments and Peak Property Management for a discussion about forecasting the course of the current Coronavirus pandemic, how we expect the economy to 'restart', and what specifically it will mean for real estate investors moving forward.

Drawing on available epidemiological, economic and anecdotal data from countries in the midst of battling the crisis we will offer some educated guesses about how this event will resolve and what investors can do to protect themselves while taking care of their tenants. We will also compare the circumstances of this upcoming recession with previous ones while taking into consideration of current circumstances.
