Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Always listed as one of your favoured REITS and I have done well on appreciation with lower yield than some and a touted low payout ratio.
Please comment on the Globe article yesterday regarding questionable ratios re: capital versus expense
They lumped it up there with Boardwalk with unsustainable payouts
Thanks for all you do

Thanks

Q: Please give your opinion on this REIT's third quarter results released today. Is this a good entry point for a full position primarily for income. Other than CAR.UN, can you recommend other apartment REITS for income?

Q: Hi Team,
In your response to Joanne, Nov 14 regarding comparison of BEI.UN and CAR you state :
"and we would much prefer CAR, and would have concern on CAR's distribution." Did you really mean you have a concern with CAR's distribution?
Also in light of BEI's announced distribution cut starting Jan 1, 2018 and their new growth plans do you believe the bad news is now priced in and this is a good buy currently considering down to $40 this am?

Thanks for your sevice,

Steve

Q: Could you compare BEI.UN and CAR.UN re: dividend safety and potential for growth? Given the Q2 FFO for BEI and year projections, do you think the business can continue to cover the dividend? How do you rate BEI versus CAR.UN ? Would you rate one over the other as a buy at this time? Thank you kindly for your analysis.

Q: As a retired income investor I am considering BRE as a long term hold. The 8.5% yield is very appealing. The charts indicate oversold or close to being oversold thereby offering some upside gains as well.

All else being equal - weightings, diversification - would you consider this to be solid addition to one’s portfolio ?
