Q: Like others, I hold a number of REITs, mainly for income. I'm increasingly concerned how the value of these would be effected when Canadian real estate corrects.

I'd like to know how much would you expect the price of REITs (in general, ofcourse) to change if there is a hard landing for real estate in Canada (say a correction of 30%). Perhaps an estimate with respect to Industrial, Commercial and Apartment style REITs.

Q: Hi,

I am looking to replace ZRE in my non-registered accounts with 2 - 3 REITs. I am trying to adopt a best-in-class approach, versus holding the "basket". Do you have any suggestions for best-in-class REITs, that will hopefully endure as best-in-class (versus a flavour of the month)?

Second question (please don't hesitate to deduct another credit): I am not quite sure what constitutes best-in-class but would guess a promising growth profile, strong management, manageable risks, and a reasonable distribution. Am I missing something? What do you look for or consider important when evaluating a REIT as a stand-out, best-in-class? Or are they generally all the same?

Thanks,

Derek

Q: Hi,

I am looking to buy some REITs. I would prefer to own a few (4-5) rather than purchase an etf. Which names do you have a preference for? Also, should I follow the supposedly conventional wisdom to buy only after we see a hike in interest rates? Also, since the Vancouver and Toronto seem saturated, is it best to look for exposure in other cities?

Many thanks
