Q: I am interested in REITs for potential retirement income. However, when one looks into the details of the “dividends” often a significant portion of the yield is return of capital. Are there any Canadian reits that make distributions that are largely just income and if so can you advise of same. Thanks Bill

Q: Hi,
Can you tell me what type of account is generally best to hold US REITs, from a tax perspective?
I hold these 4 Canadian REITs (TCN, WIR.U, DIR.UN, SMU.UN) and am interested in several US REITS. I've been considering AMT, CCI, EQIX, DLR. Can you comment on these and suggest a few others.

Q: Good Morning,

Thanks for your excellent service. I owe INO.UN and CHP.UN in REIT. Looking to replace them with 1 Industrial/Commercial/ REIT and 1 residential REIT. Looking for long term growth and not much concerned about Income. Can you recommend 2 REITS in each space with brief comments on the rationale that there long term prospects will be better then the one I am replacing.

Thanks and have a great day

Q: In my TFSA I am looking to move it to a more growth oriented stance. In keeping with this I have added ENGH and LSPD already. In what order would you sell the above (other than LSPD and ENGH)? I could sell off whole positions or just reduce the holdings either is fine. Any reasoning behind the ranking would be useful too.

Q: Hi
I am a long time holder of MEQ and I am wondering your overall thoughts considering the 50% growth this past year and if this is the beginning of bigger moves to come for MEQ as they break the 1B market cap.
NAV is a hard thing for me to evaluate, but the company keeps stating they believe they trade below NAV, would you agree?

Q: I had 2506 shares of BPY.UN before the merger.
Now I have 228 shares of BAM.A and 164 shares of BPYP.PR.A. The value of these two spinoffs is about $40,000 less then the 2506 shares of BPY.UN. Why is this?

Also should I sell those latter two as they only comprise 0.55% and 0.18% of the portfolio or combine the two and add to BAM.A.
Does this also mean I am reduced in real estate as a result of the merger?
Thanks Please deduct as many credits as needed.

Q: I recently submitted a question about possibly under-levered reits, and was surprised to receive an answer about "cheap" reits. To my mind these are quite different concepts.
