Q: Hello,
I see what looks like some very good news concerning my holding of Starlight U.S. Multi-Family Class A units. I would however appreciate your thoughts on their announcement of what I believe is to be a redemption of all my outstanding units at a price of $12.35 CDN per share.

I'd also appreciate your opinion or insight into why the shares are only trading at $11.10 CDN as I write this but it looks to me as though they are to be acquired at $12.35 in January of 2020. Should I back up the truck and buy more or is the discount evidence of a very strong opinion the deal might not go through for some reason?

Thank you!

Q: I am considering a $US pay reit, and am looking at these two. Could you provide the payout ratio/dividend sustainability, debt levels and debt due timeframe as well as any other relevant financials. Industrial reits and apartment reits have done very well for me, but do you have a preference between the two based on the current economic forecast? Lastly, could you identify the pros and cons of Canadian domiciled companies holding virtually all US assets?
Thank-you

Q: Can you comment on their recent quarter please. I’ve been following this stock for a very long time. Are things potentially turning here? On a likely completely unrelated note. I just saw home capital group (another darling Real-estate finance company from 5+ years ago break out). Obviously TII is a micro cap. But do your think these results are sustainable near term?

Q: 1. I was considering buying FCR for a nonregistered account as it has a fully eligible dividend, but I see it is imminently converting to a REIT - is there any way of knowing how the distributions will be classified going forward (and therefore the taxation treatment)?
2. What do you recommend as tax efficient real estate holdings for a nonregistered account? Many thanks.
