Q: I currently hold ZRE for income. If I were to replace it with 4-5 individual REITS, which ones should I pick, in addition to CSH.UN? Would ZRE or the portfolio of individual REITS be more appropriate for a long-term hold with equal consideration to distribution yield and safety of the distribution? Thank you.

Q: With the prospect of interest rates rising in the very near future, is it time to lighten up on Reits?
Do you feel that there is much more upside in NFI and PBH stocks from their current values?
As always,thanks for your advice.

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.
