The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index ETF (XRE-T) is attracting scrutiny from investors due to the prevailing uncertainties in the Canadian real estate market, including economic factors and immigration policies. While the ETF offers a decent yield of 4.87%, concerns have been raised regarding capital risk and the overall growth potential of the investment. One expert suggests shifting focus to U.S. REITs that specialize in logistics, data centers, storage, and warehouses for potentially better returns. Another review indicates satisfaction with the yield exceeding 5%, yet points out the challenges of achieving capital appreciation and dealing with tax implications for selling. For investors looking for real estate exposure, alternative options like banks or covered call ETFs are mentioned to provide superior growth opportunities.

ZEB

BUY

REITs have had a large pullback in the last 12 to 18 months. There might be some flat trading for a while but it’s a good entry point. Likes its exposure to Cdn real estate.

BUY

REITs in general is a good way to play income right now. This is a safe way to play rates. 3% yield.

TOP PICK

iUnits REIT's. He is suggesting Canadian REITs because the issues of the credit market in the US are known and this was part of the group that got swept down. Had a very large decline as a group of about 35% to 45%. Many REITs in Canada have no exposure to the US. Rather than trying to pick a particular REIT, you can buy a fund. Paying 6.7% yield.

DON'T BUY

He is more biased towards active management. The problem with an indexed REIT, you are getting very big representation from some of the bigger Canadian index weightings such as RioCan (REI.UN-T). He likes to also own some US, European and other REITs. Deals and managed REIT fund will do better than a passive index.

BUY

This is a package of some of the bigger REITs. Still fairly strongly positive. A good way to participate in the REIT market.

BUY

Likes real estate. If you are buying this one, you have to ask if there will be a downturn. Pays a decent dividend.

BUY

A safe way to play REITs. You will benefit from the whole sector without having to know individual REITs.

BUY

Generally speaking when you invest in a REIT you want to look to where interest rates are going. He is concerned that the Canadian economy will be slowing down a bit and lease renewals will not be as robust as they have been. On the flip side, the refinancing business is very, very bright.

DON'T BUY

Gives the exposure to a large basket of REITs. Highly exposed to the large cap end of the REIT market. Feels there are better opportunities in the small cap end.

BUY

Probably a good time to get into real estate, as REITs tend to go with interest rates. Feels the near-term trend in interest rates is probably to go lower.

BUY

Believes it is a good time to have REITS. It still looks attractive. There is a thirst for Canadian real estate. It may have 8% returns.

WAIT

REITs have been soft and this is the reason for the drop in price. This is a buying opportunity but wait for two or three weeks to see what happens..

BUY ON WEAKNESS

As bonds rally, yields go down which will put pressure on REITs. Foreign investors are becoming attracted to Canadian real estate which seem to keep the prices high. To buy, look for days when they moved down sharply.

TOP PICK

The US market has been strong in REITs. The whole sector should do well. More earnings. They are not cheap but he expects positive returns.

WEAK BUY

A great way to "one stop shop" to have all the REITs instead of having to try to pick out the individual ones. 6.5% yield is a little lower than he would like. Prefers juniors Huntingdon (HNT.UN-X) and Lanesborough (LRT.UN-X) which pay a little bit more, like 9/10%, but you have to do your due diligence.
