Boardwalk REIT (BEI.UN.TO)

Alberta benefits from population growth, international migration, and inter-provincial migration. Not rent regulated. Quality housing. Large discount of about 20% to NAV. Outlook continues to be bright. Yield is 1.78%.

Good landlords. A very important characteristic. Could increase rents by 20%, but seldom goes above 9%. 

Does not own shares at this time.
~60% of residential units around Calgary area (fast growing area without rent control).
Good time to buy with rising interest rates impacting share price.
Strength in energy business also good for business.

Whole sector has been pushed down extensively, based on interest rates. This is unfair, as everything gets lumped into the same boat. This one is faring better. Longer term, will be OK. Generates income, good portfolio of assets. Yield is 1.9%.

Great example of a company with the ability to increase its distribution. Apartments across Canada, with a focus (2/3 of its portfolio) on Alberta. Alberta has become the affordable market in Canada for both new Canadians and inter-provincial migration. Growing cashflow. 

Quite bullish on it. Still lots of runway, with stock trading at 20% discount to NAV. Occupancy has increased over 98%. 10% in leasing spreads. Foresees 8.5-12.5% income growth this year.

It is in the Alberta market which has a great opportunity for attractive rents and affordability. Trades at a good discount to NAV which is growing as markets are recovering. Has a 98% occupancy rate and it can push for rent incentives.
