Have REITS bottomed?

[@steady009]

If you wanna buy Manulife REIT now, it's definitely not for the dividends, at least not for now. If you are not buying it for the potential price recovery and capital gain, then you don't know what you are doing. It's a gamble of course, so it's high risk, high returns.

Good information, as usual, however I think you should make it clear in the title of this video it is predominantly about US REITS which are listed in Singapore. For me this is not interesting for at least 2 reasons. US office space is an issue and 30% withholding tax on dividends is another. I would be interested to hear the answer to the question based on REITS whose portfolios are predominantly in ASIA. Food for thought?

I do think we are close to the bottom if not the bottom. In previous videos I have identified the high quality reits so I didn’t want to repeat them. Some investors of the US REITs do not pay the 30% div tax because of the special structure.

hi alvin, i am currently adopting your dogs of sti strategy and have just held for 3 months so far. i was wondering, when rebalancing, should i buy odd lots for the dogs in order to make them equal weighted at 10%? because without odd lots that isnt really possible, but odd lots bump up my average share price and reduce returns/exacerbate losses. thanks for all the content!!

[@DrWealthVideos]

No odd lots. Get close to 10% good enough

[@edwinwee267]

Do remember that these US stocks in SGX are subjected to US tax.

[@DrWealthVideos]

Singapore based retail investors generally don’t need to pay because they have special structure

[@edwinwee267]

@@DrWealthVideos These SG listed Us Stocks were originally sold & documented as Loan & interest payment instead of dividend payment to avoid US tax. However there were recent changes in the US tax law that may have closed this loop. Please check.

[@edwinwee267]

Honestly, there is no such special structure to avoid US tax auhorities. It is either paid by the retailer or paid by the REITs. Either way the US tax authorities will take what is due to them regardless where the stock is listed. It is still a US domiciled stock.

Still in a downtrend. In october 22 the index went up 15% and after that it crashed again.

It's only a 3% retracement man 😂 are REIT investors really so desperate nowadays that even a 3% bounce gets them happy?
