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: What are the tax implications of Bpy.un held in a tax free account?
- Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH.UN)
- NorthWest Healthcare Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (NWH.UN)
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: I was looking for the makeup of their last couple of years' distribution but their website had nothing. Can you help please? Specifically, I'm curious if it was all return of capital. Thanks a lot as usual.
Q: Should I hold on to my MRC and wait for the turn or reinvest it in MRG.UN?
Thanks Bob Rose

Q: Most of the REITs are down today, especially DIR.UN which is down by about 3.5% - a big drop for a REIT. Any reasons? Also, would you flip DIR.UN for SMU.UN, which seems to have more potential down the road than DIR.UN. Thanks.
Q: Peter; My wife and I own smu.un at cost of $7.89- yield is about 3.59 at current price -late 70’s- would you think a switch to the new issue of DIR.UN be advantageous? Big capital gains of course and who knows what the Libs may do . Thanks.Rod
Q: I've owned Chartwell for several years. The distributions have increasingly become a Return of Capital with last year's being over 99%. Comment.
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: GRT.UN has been range bound between $75 to $80 for about 8 months. Do you see any catalyst that would break this trap? If I were to sell GRT.UN, do you have any REIT you can recommend with similar yield but more growth opportunity? Thanks.
Q: What are your thoughts on taking a position in CoStar? They seem to be the fuel companies need when making real estate decisions.

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.

Q: Do you know the timeline for when this deal will close? I plan to take the cash offer but was wondering if there will be another quarterly dividend payment?
Thanks.
Thanks.
