Q: Hi Peter, I have the above real estate plays (~2.5% each) in my RRSP along with a good mix of other 5i non-real estate income and growth picks (~62.5%) plus ~30% cash at present. Is this a reasonable mix (TCN, HOT, SRT) ? Thank you.

Q: To what extent are these two - or others like them - influenced by higher rates. My understanding was that this had become a very competitive sector yet both have appreciated significantly in recent months. What are their prospects?

Q: BPY-UN has offered $30.10 per unit of BOX-UN on January 23.
BOX-UN closed at $31.25 on January 24.
Please confirm or explain following:
Is the BPY-UN offer all cash
Is a tax free rollover contemplated
When will the purchase close

Would you sell the BOX-UN into the market and buy an equivalent amount of BPY-UN? I am comfortable holding BPY-UN.

Would you recommend another Canadian "office" REIT to replace BOX-UN. I specifically purchased BOX-UN to represent high quality Canadian office REIT.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Background: I owned HOT.UN in my TFSA for the dividend in USD. but then my bank converted the dollars to Cdn (no choice there unless I held it in a USD account apparently) and then there was about 30% tax removed from the dividend as well.
Question: Is this normally what happens? Very confused as American Hotels is Canadian or so I thought.

Q: Good Afternoon,

I had a full position in Milestone and today it is being sold. What are your thoughts on BPY.UN for replacement or would you have other names in the multi family residential properties? I know that BPY.un is not in the muti family residential property.

Thanks

Paul
