Q: good morning, I am concerned that the move toward working from home and the probability that the trend will continue even after the pandemic crisis is behind us will have a negative impact on bpy given their exposure to the office space market.
Likewise they have significant holdings in shopping malls, and with the increase in online shopping are they likely to suffer a negative double whammy? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: Artis and RioCan are both trading at about a 50 % discount to their NAV. Both pay a good dividend. Would you invest in either one? Would you favour one over the other? Are their dividends "safe"? AX.UN is down nearly a dollar in the last two days. Is there a reason for that? Thanks for your insight.

Q: Bought ZRE in a non-registered account just weeks before COVID. Down 33%. Yikes. Would you suggest waiting it out? And if so - looking at your trusty crystal ball - when would you see share prices for this ETF rising to pre-COVID levels (a year...two years)? Alternatively, is it time to cut my (considerable) losses and invest in another sector (tech, consumer cyclical?) which would have a better chance of seeing a faster recovery? Thanks.

Q: I picked some of FCR.UN today at $11.90/share for my TFSA. I am looking at this trust and thinking it is very cheap now - NAV around $18 and they did OK in April with 74% of rents collected plus they have tenants like Walmart, Canadian Tire, Liquor stores - and located in the bigger cities (GTA). Seems like they would do good long term at this price with a nice yield? I am looking at a 5 year hold at minimum.

Q: Hi - Can you update me on your thoughts about Allied Reit. I am long but am concerned about pressure on commercial real estate (eg companies looking for less space than before due to remote work spaces/office sharing). So I guess it boils down to would you be buyers, sellers or holders of AP.un leaving gain/loss for taxes out of the consideration?

Q: I am looking to purchase another REIT or two for my TFSA. I currently own AP.UN. I have been following the discussion about car.un and dir.un as two of your favourite reits. My question is; do you think that they are currently overvalued compared to bpy.un which morningstar indicates is undervalued by 53%. would you not buy bpy.un? any other suggestions are greatly appreciated
thanks

Q: I would like to reduce my exposure to REITs and reallocate to other sectors. Considering selling some of these 6. I have a long term focus - 5+ years, looking at total return over that time. May I have your opinion of these in order from best to worst for total return for a long term hold. I'm assuming all will get through this economic disruption OK. AP.UN, GRT.UN, HR.UN, PLZ.UN, REI.UN, SRU.UN. Thanks.

5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
STWD is priced well at 12X cash flow; BRX is cheaper at 11X. O is twice as expensive, at 24X. O has had much better growth in cash flow, the question is whether its premium valuation is worth it. BRX wins the momentum contest this year. With a 61% payout ratio, we would consider it for one with a good valuation, 'some' growth and good momentum.
..............................................
Please comment on your current view of BRX.
What is the payout ratio.
How do you view the "integrity" of the dividend.
How do they compare with STWD and O.
Thank you
