Q: Gentlemen,
I hold the above four REIT's. I plan to sell REI.UN. With the proceeds and new cash I would like to increase the HR.UN and BPY:US positions and add two additional REIT's. For these I am considering DIR.UN, FCR.UN, IIP.UN. or any of your suggestions. These 5 REIT's would represent 10% of my portfolio.
I appreciate you input.
Thank you,
Werner

Q: Hello,

In B.C. and Alberta, Condo Stratas are having difficulty obtaining insurance or insurance premiums are increased substantially. This appears due in part to some insurers leaving B.C. and the value of the properties increasing over the last several years making replacement cost expensive.

Would the REITS that operate in Western Canada have similar issues? I’d be concerned with owning a REIT that runs rental apartments but can’t get insurance on the building.
Looking at particular at CAR.UN and REI.UN.

Thanks

Q: I own Boardwalk and Interrent REITs. I have nice gains in both. Boardwalk finally seems to have some momentum behind it after languishing for a few years. With a solid quarterly release in the next couple of weeks, do you think it can continue to move higher and get back to the $60's. They keep saying they are trying to diversify the portfolio, but no major moves yet out of Alberta. Alberta's economy is doing better, but the name will always be attached to oil until they diversify throughout the country. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I have held a position in CSH.UN for a long time. I recognize that the share price growth will be slow, but its distribution growth is frustratingly slow.
I'm not looking to hit a homerun. I'm looking for stability and really my main focus is distribution growth as I plan to hold long term.
I am looking to add to my REIT holdings. Are there other REITs you would suggest or should I add to CSH?
Kind thanks for your time and expertise.
