Q: Are FSV, CIGI, SIA, and CSH.UN considered to be REITS? I would like to increase my REIT exposure and I would appreciate recommendations on 2 or 3 that you believe to be reasonably priced now for growth rather than income. Do you consider ownership in property to be counted as part of an exposure to REITs?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
You have been generally positive on BPY.UN -when it got down near $20 I averaged down and with the price jump have been feeling good about that - I have looked at scotia’s recent analysis of the most recent quarter . I own a lot of different REITS and it is the only one they show with an AFFO payout ratio of over 100% up to and including 2020- I know you can calculate things differently but assuming they use the same metrics on all REITS this is the worst one? Comments and analysis are appreciated
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: I am disappointed in the lower returns of Canadian apartment reits, and can't bring myself to buy Pure Multifamily (RUF.UN) because of the high payout ratio. Are there any US apartment reits that you might suggest I have a look at? I am targeting a dividend of 5% or more.
Thanks!
