Q: What's the main reason why some of the REITs that did well in 2021 are doing so poorly heading into 2022? I own DIR.UN, GRT.UN and SMU.UN and all three are down quite a bit so far into the new year. Thanks.

Q: Good day.

DIR.UN: I read that REITs become favourable in a rising interest rate environment. Is this true for industrial REITs too? Could you please help me to understand why. I assume that they can raise rents, but do they not have longer term rental contracts (?). Any property purchases would also cost them more. How do they benefit from higher interest rates? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5I
I have my rent coverage in TCN. IIP.un, O, and IIPR. The portfolio weighting is fine, I believe(3% total). I am happy with the growth and payout of TCN & IIP
Question: I noticed your preference is to ZRE for income. Should I consider switching into ZRE going forward(TCN for ZRE)? Any other comments are appreciated.

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,

With interest rates set to climb, do you believe that “residential” REITs/Real Estate stocks like CAR.UN, IIP.UN and TCN should be over-weighted in one’s portfolio? My thesis is that less people will be able to buy a house in an already overheated real estate market, forcing them to consider renting an apartment or home. (I assume that real estate is also overheated in the US when including TCN) Do you concur, and if so, can you suggest any additional names? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I try to follow your metrics where I can. I think you usually recommend using forward earnings for PE ratios as the market looks ahead. In your answer to Cal on CSH.UN you referred to earnings for the year just ended to give you a PE of 20. Your database shows a PE of 746, which I believe is trailing as well. Did you mean the year ahead to get a PE of 20 or maybe I am missing something?
Thanks.
