Q: Hello team,
Can you suggest 3 or 4 Canadian REITS that pay a dividend over 6% that you would be happy with for an income investor? And can you rank them? Thank you for all that you do!

Q: Hi, can you please comment on today's increase in trading volume. Also, how does this company compare to others in the industry pertaining to affo. With the upcoming capex and very few "buys" on the stock, do you feel this company has a higher probability of surprising to the upside? With payout ratio at around 60%, do you think they will raise the dividend anytime soon? Thanks! :)

Q: I am puzzled about the fact that some mortgage lenders offer as low as 1.9 to 2.1% mortgage rates. Why would someone lend money as such a low rate, when you can get more (and garanteed) investing it with a CDIC backed GIC. If the amount is huge and not covered by a set of CDIC accounts, such a lender could get the same yield from a short-term bond ETF like ZCS. My theory is that those lenders hope that a small percentage of their borrowers fail to carry the mortgage, in which case, they somehow profit from re-possessing a house that has appreciated in price. If that is not something a lender can do, what am I missing? Thank you.

Q: I wanted to follow up on Harold's question as I am looking to add this REIT with the PRV I currently hold.

Partners website has the Payout Ratio (Distribution/ACFO) at 95.6% as per Q1 2017 which is higher than the 83% you mentioned so I was hoping for some clarification. Is it 83% on AFFO and if so what is the better measurement metric for REITS, AFFO or AFCO?
I also notice the NAV according to the company is $4.45 however the historical stock charts are not good, do you see them creating that value in the share price?
