Q: Hi Peter. Would there be much point in selling Smart Reit and buying Sienna Sr. Living to reduce my Reit holdings (18%) and increase my Health Care (0%)? I'm thinking they will act the same if interest rates ever rise.
Thanks

Q: Pure Multi Family REIT declared Q2 results which looked pretty good. Also disposed off a property and bought an AA property (as per announcement yesterday). They are doing all the right things. They have lagged Milestone Apartments REIT which has taken off in the last month or two.

What is your opinion on Pure Family REIT ? You had mentioned it was expensive some time back compared to MST.UN. Does this opinion still stand ?

and out of the three companies which would you prefer for income and some growth. Thank You.

Q: Hi, what is your view of the REIT space right now? They are declining a lot today relative to normal stability, but have been strong lately. I have the ones listed as well as SIA with isn't technically a REIT but in the same area. I believe the new Real Estate category is coming soon, and the US election. In general is it good timing for the REIT sector over the next 6 months. And would you consider any other REITS better than the ones I currently own at the present time? I'm well diversified so I'm not over my % for the category, although could consolidate to fewer than 4 holdings.

Q: The results seemed OK. Guidance was cautious. The stock is down around 8% or so in the last two days.

What is your opinion on the results and on Dream Industrial as a long term hold. The dividend is quite attractive.

I also hold Pure Industrial REIT and would it make sense to stay diversified or move over the holdings from Dream Industrial into Pure Industrial REIT. Thank you.

Q: Your comments please on CAP REIT's operating results and your thoughts going forward. Am cautious on the impacts new foreign home ownership taxes will have on apartment valuations in BC and possibly Ontario. Apartment REIT's are coming off a bit. Do you see this continuing in light of the tax situation and a possible US rate hike this year.

Q: Hi 5i team,
This REIT's share price fell almost 4% after the financials release on friday. As I believe eastern Canada will do well over the next few years, would you recommend it at this price, or could you propose better alternatives ?

Much thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Today, would you be a buyer of MST.UN? The RSI chart would indicate that it's close to the "oversold" category. It would be for my RRIF which contains a well-diversified mix of mainly your recommendations. The only other "real estate" holdings are a position in each of FCR and IIP.UN, and no direct participation in the US market.

Thanks, as always.
