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 ?

Q: I am looking to replace HR.UN with a REIT that has minimal, or no retail exposure. Can you suggest a couple with comparable dividends, and better potential upside? Thank you.
