In college at Johns Hopkins, he worked part-time jobs ranging from teaching Hebrew to checking IDs outside the library. To pay his way through Harvard Business School, he traveled the country as a circus promoter—money that he later invested into three-bedroom houses in a town near Boston, his first foray into real estate.

Disaster struck with the real estate crash in the early 1990s, but Greene managed to scrape by. Then, in 2006, he made

Not since the Great Recession, Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. BAM-T says, have there been such attractive real estate investment opportunities.

Persistently high interest rates coupled with the rise of remote working means “the best real estate opportunities since 2009 are coming,” the Toronto-based investment company said Wednesday in a letter to shareholders published alongside its second-quarter results.

“I think it’s kind of a stepping stone toward actually buying and owning a full rental property,” says Heier, a 30-year-old investor in California who is using Arrived Homes, one of a spate of new “fractional” real estate investment platforms.
