#4 Covid-eo chats - Sim Manocha on hospitality, real estate finance, and monetary policy.

Sim Manocha is Managing Partner at Avina Capital (avinacapital.ca) - a leading financier in commercial real estate & private placement. Sim has been involved with the financing of close to $1BN of real estate in his career, with some notable transactions in the hospitality space. As such, I felt he was uniquely qualified to speak about the impact of Covid-19 on the hospitality space, specifically pertaining to real estate finance. We specifically discuss how hospitality owners and developers have been impacted, as well as strategies to mitigate the spread of Covid-19's economic risk among other asset classes. We also touch on government policy and the impact it's had on mitigating the impact of coronavirus on the real estate economy and the housing supply-chain.
