Q: Hello team,
Can you suggest 3 or 4 Canadian REITS that pay a dividend over 6% that you would be happy with for an income investor? And can you rank them? Thank you for all that you do!

Q: I have investments in the listed Investment Trusts for income.
With the problems in the Retail Sector (Sears, The Bay, etc), and the growth of on-line shopping, are the values and incomes of any these Trusts exposed?
REI.un and CUF.un have been on a steady decline.
Thank you in advance for your comments.

Q: Can you rank the stocks best to worst in your opinion. These are the stock s that are in my real estate sector which is 3% of my current portfolio. Would you add, swap or remove any of them? My portfolio holdings/thoughts are very similar to your BE Portfolio as I am a middle aged investor.

Q: Hi there,
I have both of these in my investment account and would like to consolidate into one or the other based on the other stocks I currently own. Which of these would you prefer to own going forward and why. I like the dividends but am more interested in total return.

Q: I would like your thoughts on whether it is a good time to buy REITs given the pull back in some recently. I am looking at AD, HOT and HR so could I get you opinion on these or others that would be a good buy now.
Thanks.

Q: I manage my husband's and my TFSA's as if they are one account so we do not duplicate the stocks in the 2 accounts and can have a reasonable size of position. We have a similar weighting of ALA, REI.UN, SIA, WSP, ZEB, BEP.UN, CGX, and HR.UN and PKI, and a double weighting of CPD and CDZ. We currently have about $110K in the two accounts and $20K of that is in cash. Can you suggest what we might add to or change in the above list, considering that we prefer income paying securities with some growth prospects and want the TFSA's to act independently of our other investments as a relatively conservative growth vehicle.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I would like to purchase a few REITS through my RRSP account since I currently have non. I was thinking of purchasing one of the listed REITs that you suggested in a previous question and maybe an ETF (if they exist).

Of the REITs (CSH, HR, CAR) which one has the best dividend/growth? I figured a REIT that goes across the country would be the best.

Also do REIT ETFs exist? If so are there some that possible cover commercial properties only?

Thank you,
Andrew

Q: H&R real estate investment trust calls itself an "open-ended" trust compared to others that call themselves a "close-ended" trust.
Is the internal structure of H&R more like a mutual fund? Should it be a concern?
Which of these three do you prefer for a long-term hold, as the only REIT in a portfolio. Thanks for your help.
