Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
First Capital is a small trust with market cap of 125M (based on WSJ info). Yesterday, it announces 266 M purchase/co-ownership with First Capital Realty.
Jan 9, 2019 Crombie Reit anounced a sale of 104M ish to the group.
Questions:
Is FCD.UN a good investment today for a 10 years horizon?
Do you think that this can be a step to turn First Capital Realty to a REIT? or a planned merger of all First Capital assets into 1?

My annual membership will end soon, a day before my BD so I always remember to give myself a gift of membership in support of the last independent advisor for DYI.

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for a long term hold in US realty. I'm a little concerned that ADC is in retail, which concerns me, but it's growth just going despite your concerns, "and its cash flow per share is only about the level of 10 years ago. "
Of these 3, which do you think is best for a long term, relatively safe hold?

Q: I come across two high yield U.S. REITs - NLY and AGNC that provide yields over 11%. Do you know anything about them? How does these two compare? If you have to pick one which would be your choice? Are there any special tax consideration in investing in U.S. REITs? Thanks.

Q: Good morning 5i Team

I've owned Artis REIT for many years and doing okay (not great) with it due to the accumulated dividends. With the dividend cut the current market yield is 4.86% today. I've continued holding it expecting the total return to be okay going forward anticipating that share buybacks will cause the share price to increase this year.

I like the reit because of it's focused on industry assets and not focused on retail. I also like that it is growing it's properties in the USA. I don't like the reit because of the dividend cut (even with the focus on share buybacks).

Being primarily interested in income, but also total return, I see other reits that are likely better quality and currently pay a higher yield. Can you recommend one to switch to that has a significant presence in USA and is focused on industrial properties?

Thanks
Peter

Q: REIT Strategy

REITS have had a good run recently, I recently purchased IIP and CAR.UN. Is there anything that I need to watch for in terms of what could possibly turn things negative? Outside of rising interest rates, what else could affect the REIT Sector. I have heard that new builds will not have rent control in Ontario, and there may be more competitive threats in the near future.

Thanks,
Raj
