Q: Hello 5i Team
Thank you for the new update on Interrent REIT.
Reviewing the new report on Interrent REIT, the Peer Relative Evaluation section compares Interrent against ten REITs, however only two of the ten REITs (CAR.UN & NVU.UN) are in the residential apartment sector.
1 - Please comment on how companies are selected for the Peer Relative Evaluation section.
2 - Would it be more appropriate to compare Interrent against the major residential apartment REITs (BEI.UN, CAR.UN, KMP.UN, MI.UN, MRG.UN, NVU.UN) than to the Office, Industrial, Retail REIT section?
3 - Also given NVU.UN is subject to a takeover, is this a reasonable comparison?
Thanks

Q: I know Chartwell is and will be under scrutiny under the current context. I fell in love with the drip and the monthly high dividends not so much the stock.

What would be your 2-3 suggestion to replace it with? Considering I want a high monthly div that a can drip without investing 100k in!

Thanks

Q: I intend to buy DIR.UN, IIP.UN and CAR.UN. I do not need the income, I would buy them because you have recommended them in the past and I need some diversification into the real estate sector. My question is, given that their distributions can be R of C, foreign income, and other income, are they best purchased in a TFSA or RRSP, rather than in a non-registered account?

Q: These are the property Reits that I have. I am down with Dream. As the economy struggles and the ability to pay rent increases, what is your thought at this time? I could see a sell and reentry later, but perhaps this is a poor move. Appreciate your thoughts....

Q: Hello Peter and Staff

Today all rental housing stocks I follow (CAR.UN, KMP.UN, IIP.UN and TCN got hammered

I would have thought they would stand up well - rental shortages and future refinancings likely at lower rates ?

Does that logic make sense?

Any reason other than someone starting a rumour about mandated rent holidays?

Thanks and have a great day
Dennis

Q: The REIT sector seems to have been decimated. Residential REIT's which usually hold up better have come down big along with the Industrial REIT's.

Would not be a good time to accumulate some of the residential REIT's in Canada. Why would these companies decline so much ? Are they being priced such that folks will not be able to pay rent forever ?

Q: Could I get your take on REITs at these levels. I thought they would have held up much better in this current meltdown. Are investors just dumping them because they think tenants are going bankrupt and default on their lease agreements? What is your opinion on FCR.UN? or do you prefer HR.UN? Thanks Ron
