What are your Favourite REITS?
« on: October 17, 2017, 09:56:08 am »
Hi, I'm new to this forum & noticed a lot of talk about REITS.

So for the newbies out there:

Please share your current favourite REITS (both local & international).

And if you feel inclined please indicate why.

P.S. just found this advice on JustOneLap:

"You also have to consider the tax implications of your income investments. Income earned on ordinary dividends is taxed at a 20% dividend withholding rate, unless the investment is within a tax-free wrapper. Income earned from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs), however, is not considered dividend income and taxed according to your marginal tax rate. If you are still earning an income, this could be as much as 45%."

So if you are still earning well, then REITS are probably best suited to your TFSA or RA accounts?

I have a couple...

local ::
Tower - great yield with a fair amount of CEE exposure. nice assets in CT - also doing a bit of building ( high end flats in CT)
Texton - fantastic yield - around 60/40 SA/UK split. have just internalized management of props
Arrowhead - great yield had for years, pays quarterly - reliable, has grown divi each and every quarter - has some residential
Hyprop - ok yield. best mall operator. has a small overseas exposure.
Fairvest - Great yield, operates in small centres (commuter)  which seem more resilient to downturns.
Storage : good yield will be adding more to bring to size - storage reit
SAC - similar to AWA
Resiliant - ok yield has lots of overseas exposure through Nepi and greenbay

Hold a few others, but  those are my main ones.

almost forgot - also have:
Delta :: fantastic yield, government leases. Purely a spite play, I like having the government paying me.

I have Fortress Income Fund B shares. Up 21% in less than a year. I bought as they don't own mainstream properties plus there is the gearing effect of the B shares. The A shares get something like a 6% increase in divs per year and the balance goes to the B shares. So far so good.
