Q: I have all 3 of DRG.UN, D.UN & STB in my wife's cash acct but only because of their very high monthly dividends - averaged at about 8.5%. However, I want to drop 1 & while STB would seen the obvious choice as it does not move the needle very much, I am concerned as to the ongoing viability of DRG.UN as related to Brexit, etc. Your opinion - Thank you.

Q: Prior to Brexit there was considerable discussion about the need to address Cdn house price overvaluation, likely through mortgage terms. I note that both MKP - MCAP and Timbercreek have worthwhile dividends, provided their pricing remains stable or positive. I note that you like MCAP but the question is what do their future prospects depend on?

Thanks

Q: I have trimmed my real estate holdings to 10% of my stock portfolio with 5% in each CIG and FSV. However, I am wondering if I should be taking into account my commercial & residential real estate outside of my stock portfolio? They do generate monthly income and I don't want to sell the properties. Perhaps I should not hold any real estate in my stock portfolio?

Q: My gains accumulated over the last two years on BPY.UN is about to be totally wiped out in the last two trade sessions. I know BPY.UN is heavily invested in the U.K., for example the Canary Wharf, will Brexit have such an effect on its real estate holdings? Or this is an opportunity we can take advantage of and load up again on this stock.

You advise is much appreciated.

Q: I have not had a 'raise' in a while from RioCan. I have held the stock since 1999. Is it time to part company? It's near an all time high. Can you suggest a REIT which does give good increases every year? A high ROC is nice, but not required.

Q: Like others, I hold a number of REITs, mainly for income. I'm increasingly concerned how the value of these would be effected when Canadian real estate corrects.

I'd like to know how much would you expect the price of REITs (in general, ofcourse) to change if there is a hard landing for real estate in Canada (say a correction of 30%). Perhaps an estimate with respect to Industrial, Commercial and Apartment style REITs.
