In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, real estate investor Michael Missaghie of Arch Corporation isn't just waiting for the real estate market to turn, he's actively making it happen.

Missaghie gives a behind-the-scenes look at the InterRent (IIP.UN) deal, where his firm took an activist stake to push for change. He breaks down how the transaction unfolded, why it cleared the market, and what it signals about the next wave of REIT consolidation.He also weighs in on the brewing trouble in Canada’s condo market and how distress in that space could get a lot worse before the next wave of opportunity.In the mailbag, Amber and Michael tackle some of the most talked-about real estate names: H&R REIT (HR.UN), First Capital (FCR.UN), Minto (MI.UN), Mainstreet (MEQ), Allied Properties (AP.UN), and the recent Go Residential IPO. He weighs in on who’s in play, where value is being missed, and why office REITs are still a tough bet despite return-to-work trends.To close the show, Michael shares his top three REIT picks right now: BSR REIT (HOM.U), a TSX-listed U.S. apartment play; Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH.UN), a premium seniors housing name with M&A appeal; and Brookdale Senior Living (BKD), a U.S. turnaround story trading at a deep discount.If you're watching REITs, real estate, or M&A trends, this episode is packed with insight.Timestamps00:00 Show Intro02:20 Michael’s approach to real estate investing 04:20 What did staring during the crisis of 2008 teach him?05:35 Investing in public and private real estate08:45 How does the private market inform investing in the public market10:00 Is the market turning?
