Q: Hi Folks,
I'm looking to add a REIT or two to my income portfolio. I'm also aware of the possibility that rates may increase over the next year or so. I was thinking that "growthy" REITS would provide some protection from rising rates. Could you suggest two or three REITS with the potential for above average growth with a sustainable distribution. I'm OK with some riskier names.
Great work, as usual.

Q: Hi, could you please suggest one of these,or another you might like better,for income mostly and of course some upside. Do they use ROC to pay part of the dividend?This would be a full position 5%. Management,LowDebt,Good Sector,and capital preservation is most important.
Thanks

Q: If cominar reit cut its distribution in half , its yield would still be a healthy 5.7% yield at $12.95 a share. The AFFO payout ratio would fall to 60 %and its share price would be trading at 10X AFFO and a 25% discount to net asset value.So why are investors dumping the stock because of the high yield and temporary 100% plus payout? (my numbers are based on a %1.28 2017 AFFO from TD Waterhouse, projected to rise going forward.)

Q: What do you make of the vitriol between activist investors and management of GRT.UN? As a shareholder I have to vote by June 13. I have never before received an email, as I did today, extolling why I should vote in favour of the activists and against management. That said I have enjoyed a fat DIV and a 37% share price increase in the four years since I first bought the stock so you know where my inclination lies!

Q: I took a half position in PRO REIT two months ago after the Globe breakout article and I’ve since read all 5i’s past commentary which I found encouraging.
It is appearing that this is a solid growing REIT with great dividend and monthly DRIP. The payout ratio is dropping, they continue to make accretive acquisitions and it won’t be long before their market cap is over 100 million attracting new investors.
Would now be a good time to add to the position after the latest offering? Any other insight or advice you can offer me on PRV is appreciated.
