Q: Hi Team, I owe both XRE and HR.UN and both prices dropped recently. I want to reduce my real estate holdings. Which one should I sell? Is this a good time to sell or wait?

Many thanks

Q: On the website for Brookfield Property Partners (BPY.UN) the company Brookfield Properties (BPO) is listed as being part of their property portfolio. I am considering purchase of either BPY.UN or BPO, both of which provide global diversification. However, BPY.UN also provides property portfolio diversification as well (office, retail, commercial, and multi-family). BPY.UN has not been around long so it has a very short track recored. I would appreciate any information you could provide that would help in my decision. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and team
I notice Health Lease REIT(HLP.UN) has acquired another property from Mainstreet Property Group. Do you think they are getting these properties at a fair price? They mentioned the appraised value but there was no mention of cap rate. What do you think of the deals they are making with Mainstreet and what do you think of HLP.UN in this market climate?

Thanks

Ross

Q: Hi Peter. Could you give me an updated opinion on CWT.UN. The shares have doubled since I bought it and it now represents ~2.5% of my portfolio. My weighting in REITs is ~8%. My concern about selling some shares would that I would have a smaller after-tax amount to re-invest and would require a higher return to justify the switch. Would you recommend selling some shares? If so what would you recemmend for long-term investment?

Q: Hi 5i,
Given today's market correction, i'm looking to opportunistically buy some income oriented stocks. What's your top pick in the space given today's reaction (possible over-reaction). I am currently looking at the basket play (XRE-T) and Brookfield Office Properties (BOP.UN-T). Thoughts?
