Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i team :
Kroll Ball rating agency commented about TAH (USa branch of Tricon) the below note. As shareholders, should we worry now about this note ? or it is an issue to deal with in 2019 . Thanks !!

"It is worth noting that one TAH securitization and the Silver Bay deal are each collateralized by a floating-rate loan with a fully extended term of five years and the other TAH securitization is collateralized by a fixed-rate loan with a five-year term, all of which will come due from September 2019 to November 2021. This concentrated debt maturity profile may result in increased financial stress for the company."

Q: I was wondering if you could expand on exactly what it is Tricon does. Apparently, their new deal will mean that they are primarily in the rental home business. Does this mean that they own thousands of actual stand-alone houses that they rent for the long term and earn rental and perhaps management fees on? Are these houses rent to own or does the term "house" also mean apartment buildings and/or condos? Is there a comparable Candian company that would help me to understand their business model better or is large scale home rental more applicable only to the US?

Q: Hi, not sure if I'm the first to ask about the recent new, but I'm curious of your thoughts on it. To me, it seem like a good strategic move and will result in a more focused company. I didn't like seeing the bought deal at $9.90 when they are paying a 20% premium on aquisition. So I assume market will bring it down for awhile but longer term will look good as long as economy in US stays strong.

Q: Hi Peter, I have the above real estate plays (~2.5% each) in my RRSP along with a good mix of other 5i non-real estate income and growth picks (~62.5%) plus ~30% cash at present. Is this a reasonable mix (TCN, HOT, SRT) ? Thank you.

Q: I'd like to invest in Tricon, but note that, as you say earnings are lower than in 2013/14, when it was trading between $6-$8 dollars.

1. Should I assume from this that I should wait until the stock drops to the $6-$8 level before buying?
2. Why are they having so much trouble generating earnings in an improving real estate market? Are the execs paying themselves too much?
Thanks for your opinions.
