Q: In the US Democrats have introduced legislation in both Congress and the Senate that would ban hedge funds, corporations, partnerships and REITs from buying and owning single family homes in the US. Does this pose a material threat to Tricon Residential? If this law were to not apply to Tricon, perhaps it is an opportunity for them as those on the wrong side of this law,would have to sell them within 10 years. Interested in your comments.

Q: Can you provide an analysis of this REIT? What are the principal risks associated and is the dividend stable? Would this stock be considered “defensive” in nature? With a 9.7% dividend, is it something an income seeking retiree with a moderate risk tolerance should consider. Are there any less risk alternatives you would suggest?

Q: I took a position in ZRE, I also try to avoid office REITS and a to high proportion of retail REITS in the present market..I noticed that ZRE fact sheet shows 68% retail REITS,and no residential REIT in its sector allocation ! Among the 23 holdings, at least 9 appear to be residential REITS.Could you please indicate the "real percentage" of retail REITS and of residential REITS in this ETF.Are sector allocation % calculated from the number of REITS or by the cumulative NAV in each category?

Q: Do you think that bonds from Brookfield property are at material risk of default? If I am understanding financial press, their credit ratings have dropped. But their values have gone up more than 5% recently.

Q: I was looking to sell CSH.UN and buy either CAR.UN or IIP.UN because of its high payout ratio but I didn't because it started showing momentum. I recently heard on BNN that most reits have a high payout ratio so I wondered if I am being overly cautious.

Can I get your opinion on CSH.UN. should I be concerned about its high payout ratio? Would you sell it and buy one of the other reits.
I own all 3.
thanks
