The market has punished it too much. It is in the residential rental sector in the U.S., especially in the sun belt. The rentals are affordable and appeal especially to the 35 to 44 year old demographic who want to rent good homes rather than buy. The share price is at a 40% discount to the total value of all its homes. Good opportunities should emerge.
Had owned this about 2 years ago. Was looking for something on the TSX that had US exposure that would participate when the US housing market recovered. This one did and he sold his holdings at $10. US fundamentals are fine. They have a lot of assets in Arizona, Florida and in the US south. He had problems with the valuation and as to where it could go further on. Not a fan, but the fundamentals are in their favour. He would rather buy something that was cheap and had some valuation protection. 2.3% yield.
