Q: I'm about to add a bit of money to my portfolio and have been starting to look at REI.UN, NWH.UN, HR.UN, TNT.UN. I currently have only BTB.UN as a REIT in my portfolio. I'm looking to supplement my monthly income. Any advice as I start the research process into these companies is much appreciated.

Q: Thank you for your great service. I'm a young retiree. I need 5% after tax revenue for living expenses. My portfolio consist of 10% cash/equivalent, 2% Prefered (CPD) 15% high dividend stocks, and 65% other well diversified long stock positions of which half also pay dividend in the 2-3% range. Considering that my REITs represent 8% would you consider a good opportunity to add to my REITs since interest rates are going to stay low for the foreseeable future and hence high dividend and distribution stocks should do well in this environment. If so which of the above mentioned would you add to or if you have a better suggestion please do so. As for tax implication I own all my REATs in either TSFA or my RRSP. On a side note I also own Real Estate for approximately 30% of my net in addition to the stock portfolio.

Thanks for your great advise.

Q: I am a young retiree and am not allergic to volatility. I own each of the above REITS in my RRSP or TSFA for tax purposes. They represent collectively 7% of my total portfolios including my taxable account. My taxable account holds a mix of growth and dividend paying companies. It's a rather large holding. I don't own bonds because I don't understand the first thing about bonds but currently own 23% in money market or Guarantied Cash Deposits. I would like to add to my revenue generating part and would like to tone the risk down a bit. Where would you go from here?

Thank you very much for your support.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Recent questions on this REIT have met with no major concerns including quoting a reasonable pay out ratio. Scotia in their December 21st report quotes AFFO payout ratios of 107.7 % for 2018, 102.7% for 2019 and 97.4% for 2020.
What do you use in your payout ratios and how does that differ from AFFO?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis
