COVID-19, Financial Market Uncertainty

and the Impact on Seniors Housing & Skilled Nursing

Last Month, NIC hosted the first of the NIC Leadership Huddles Webinar Series. The first webinar of the series focus on the growing COVID-19 pandemic. 

The U.S. stock market crashed on March 16th in the third worst day for the S&P 500 since the Great Depression. How has this affected the financing environment? Is financing still available for seniors housing? For skilled nursing? How have lenders responded? Will transaction volumes fall? Will property values be affected? How has the cost of capital changed?

Hear opinions on these issues and more, from experts in the capital markets and lending businesses.
