Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
Can you offer some insights on why BPY.UN is down much more than its peers such as CAR.UN and CHP.UN? Is it wise to replace BPY. UN with either CAR.UN or CHP.UN at this moment? Thanks,
Martin

Q: Could I get your take on REITs at these levels. I thought they would have held up much better in this current meltdown. Are investors just dumping them because they think tenants are going bankrupt and default on their lease agreements? What is your opinion on FCR.UN? or do you prefer HR.UN? Thanks Ron

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

Please provide a list of your favourite REITS for a taxable account. The main focus being on stable, increasing, sustainable payouts as opposed to a high current yield.

Q: I am wondering how to evaluate a REIT once it has exhibited a run-up like CAR (and others) have done. The yield has dropped to 2.5% - what will make the distribution grow? Is it only via acquisitions and/or property value increases? As they are largely in the apartment space in rent-controlled Ontario can this be seen as a significant sustainable driver or are their recent foreign acquisitions enough to drive significant growth? Industrial based REITs don't have the same constraints so do they have a "better" long term future or does their susceptibility to market cycles put up a cautionary note? All of this makes me wonder why REI, which is in the midst of a property mix turnover hasn't done better given that it is providing additional value to their portfolio with all of their strategic initiatives of converting retail to mixed-used properties.

Appreciate your insight.

Paul F.
