Q: I was reviewing INVH for income because portfolio is excessively growth oriented. INVH seemed to me well-positioned with good prospects for price appreciation. I also thought INVH could be a good inflation hedge. It seems I am wrong on all the above. The value of INVH shares is down by more than 12% over 6 months, and down by over 16% in the past year. Is something wrong with the business? Or do you attribute poor share performance to negative sentiment? The latter seems too simplistic a reason however. But if it really is just sentiment , do you expect investor attitudes to grow warmer towards boring income producing companies? Like many other investors, I continue to stay dangerously in love with growthy tech. I have been trying hard to shake off the addiction.

Is INVH a good candidate to offset a growth-oriented ‘portfolios? If not INVH, then do you have other suggestions for income ?
If not real estate , for income, under current conditions do you prefer mature slower growth dividend payers over REITs? ( I have no clue on bonds). I would appreciate suggestions on conservative income-producing securities that you like that are available at reasonable prices currently (US, Europe, UK). Prices to buy below at are *always* helpful .

Q: The monthly cost of owning a home in the US is now apparently 40% more than renting. Can you comment on your view as to whether this fact sets up a buying opportunity for companies that provide rental properties in the US. Can you also suggest a few such companies to consider and provide your best pick therefrom. Finally for each suggestion could you indicate whether their residential focus is single family or multiple and which one you believe has the most upside ahead. Many thanks.

Q: hi folks

which US home builder has the best balance sheet and which would be your 1 or 2 recommenced choices at this time?

thanks
