Q: Earlier today you stated that the payout for nwh.un is 92%. I use the Globe and mail watchlist and it says the "dividend payout ratio" is 41.56%. Can you shed some light on the huge discrepancy?

Q: Hi Peter,
NWH.UN is paying over 8% yield and has lagged the recovery on REITs. Looking at the NAV which is close to $12 per share, at what point is this a clear buy?

Q: American Hotels Income Fund (HOT.UN)released its Q4 and 2013 results this morning-- and the market seems to be punishing it for the results (down over 7%). The results didn't seem too bad, with continuing expansion tied to long-term railway occupancy guarantees, etc. Could I have your views on the results and the security of the nice distribution?
Thank you.
Harold.

Q: Good day Peter...I'm caught up trying to classify positions by sector. And I need feedback about a few REIT Trust companies. Should all REITs.un be classified under real estate or CSH.un as health care, GRT.un as industrials, BYD.un as consumer discretionary and HR.un as diversified?......Thanks....Tom M

Q: Recently you remarked that REITS could be considered part of the fixed-income portion of a portfolio. Could the same be said of Mortgage Investment Corps (e.g. MCAN, Timbercreek, Trez), or would they be part of the equity allocation?

What is the difference between Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corp. (TMC) and Timbercreek Senior Mortgage Investment Corp (MTG)? (Same with Trez Capital: TZZ and TZS.)

Q: In Sept. last year you answered a question regarding this company INN.UN and indicated that it was O.K. for income with no negative indicators. Orange Capital is now involved and they disagree with your point of view but have taken a 10% position with a view of bringing about changes to this poorly run company. From your experience is a position of this size a big enough club to sway managements train of thought. Orange maintains that with change the units should be worth 50% more.

Q: Hi Peter
In reviewing the Q&A, the last (and only?) comment that I can find on True North REIT (TNT.UN) was February 13, 2013. What is your opinion of this REIT at this time, for a long term hold? (5 years). Would you please address the fundamentals of this stock as well as comment on the viability of its 9% dividend yield. Can such a yield be truly sustainable over the long term?
