Real Estate Investment Analyst (Affordable Housing & Historic Properties)

Company Overview:

Affordable Housing Partners, Inc. (“AHP”) is 100% owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE: BRK.A; BRK.B) based in Omaha, Nebraska and known for its chairman, investor Warren Buffet. AHP acquires low income housing and historic tax credits for Berkshire Hathaway. AHP is known for its parent company’s large tax credit investment capacity and for providing flexible and timely investment solutions to its development partners to create affordable housing.
