Q: I am looking to more real estate to protect from massive inflation from money printing everywhere. I already have PM's and already have a bunch of Canadian Reits . I am looking to buy more in the US. I already have STOR and SPG ,I am thinking about COLD and Gladstone land corporation LAND mainly because I am from agriculture and Michael Bury has taken an interest in this company.I know it's out of your scope but any opinion would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i,

Just looking for your opinion on the dentures of SOT.un. This would be part of my higher risk bond portfolio. It’s a 5.25% debenture (SOT.DB) due 28/02/23 currently trading around par.

The balance sheet seems strong enough to handle the repayment in 2023. I don’t think the conversion price of $10.53 will enter into the conversation.

Any concerns and your opinion would be most helpful.

Q: I noticed in a question you answered on April 21st you stated that you prefer NWH.UN over CSH.UN. My question is would you make the switch from Chartwell to Northwest Healthcare. In my case I can sell 1600 shares of Chartwell and get 1475 shares of Northwest Looks like my month dividend would also increase over 116 dollars a month too. Thoughts?

Thanks

Q: Hi Guys
In regard to Tricon obviously most of the homes they bought in the USA after the 2008 crisis have gone up significantly in value. On Tricon's balance sheet would the original cost be reflected or what they are now all worth? Just trying to get an idea of possible upside in terms of book value. Also in regard to Tricon it seems over the years management have bumped around a bit in terms of what the company focuses on in terms of real estate investments. Do you think going forward they have found a focus that should deliver results? Also in comparison to the Industrial REIT's, like Dream or Summit, how would you rate Tricon - better or worse value and upside?

Thanks so much
Stuart

Q: Hello!
I am underwater on my First Capital Realty shares (currently yielding 2.62%) and considering replacing them with Choice Properties REIT units (currently yielding 5.43%). Doing so would double my income from this position. My thinking is that CHP's income profile is more stable than FCR's. What are your thoughts on this trade? More importantly, would you make the switch now or wait for the economy to open up more? Once vaccinations are rolled out and the economy more or less returns to normal, does FCR's share price have more upside than CHP's? FCR's share price has rallied more in recent months.
Thank You!

Q: In my unregistered account (focus on low-debt, low volatility, dividend payers, and about 1/3 of total portfolio) my only real estate exposure is CRT.UN (5% of account, 1.8% of total portfolio). I have similar level of investment in CTC.
Would it make sense to replace CRT.UN with BAM.A, realizing that BAM would have much more than real estate (I have quite a bit of other renewable power elsewhere) and I'd be giving up around 3% dividends in the move.
Or a different REIT?
Time horizon 5 - 7 years.
Thanks for all your advice & guidance.
