While Nevada continues to face high COVID-19 infection rates, authorities are attempting to contain the spread without imposing another lockdown. The future of the state’s economy remains uncertain, but the Las Vegas multifamily sector did not grind to a halt over the past month. On the transactions side, investors showed continued interest in stabilized assets. Additionally, both mortgage brokerage companies and government-sponsored enterprises provided funds for portfolio expansions and recapitalizations.
