Hektar yield more than 9% ? 

Better use the historical data as guideline. More accurate, more realistic.

Stareit never give more than 7 cents until so far.
Suddenly predict to give 8.x cents?

I bring out my trolley to shop Stareit if it can give 8.x cents with current price of 0.85-0.87. 

cherroy bro,

Lets put it this way. Past period in my language means the period from July - December (Q3 - Q4)
whizzer,

It is irrelevant, as residential property pricing does not affect commercial property prices.

whizzer,

Let me reiterate, the increase of 3 cents in QCAPITA's price yesterday was baseless, as it is expensive in every way we look at it. Also, traders take advantage of yesterday to lock in their profits. So I'm looking forward for QCAPITA to drop a little further, perhaps another 2 cents.

ho.ho.ho..collecting rental every 3 months. Rental come me instead i go to the tenant

Nice hektar! 

why got negative? how does it work?

wow 1 bux, that cheap.. too bad i went into stocks/REIT late.. else i could be holding tons of REIT stocks

yeah true.. but then there is a limit abt hw low it can go...

apart from that REIT i dont think can bankrupt.. unlike other normal stocks.. as
its a sort of TRUST FUND...

Aiseh, Like stareit. Maybe complimentary stay at JW Marriot

Yup, Besides Arreit, I have Atrium, Axreit and Qcap.  all coming about the same time

August was my dividend month. Rewarded myself with a new car

Of course not one quarter la. It has been 6 quarters since I started collecting dividend stocks before I could afford to get myself a new car. Now my quarterly dividends will be going towards paying my loan

whizzer,

Well, that's a start, but do not aim to buy a car like me. Aim to buy a house is better as it will be a valuable asset. I bought this car out of necessity.
jasontoh,

I am actually managing more than that amount in my portfolio, but not all in REITs.

whizzer,

You must be either putting a lot of money down for your first home and car or very short tenure of loan. Since you have your first home already, acquire a second house and rent it out. The dividend will only be used in the case of vacancy or tenant defaulting. Part of the dividend can be placed somewhere else, perhaps reinvested.

REITs is not like unit trust though. How can you invest RM1,000 into REIT when half of the industry is priced at RM1 and above? Besides, you will be losing out on the brokerage fee if you invest in such a small amount. It would be better to invest in a lump sum or commit RM1,000 to unit trust.

Not necessary, some preference shares do have fixed rate or fixed dividend. It depended on the issuance time

The Starhill Global convertible preference unit info, I gather from research report is like below

Oppss, sorry for that mistake. Didn't go through the announcement

But still 5.65% is kind of low. They seem to have not found the right investment for their stash. Even the conversion will be at 30% premium, seems that STAREIT is at the losing end.

I dun understand when forumers here seem to be very happy when their REITs are on acquisition trial investing more and growing bigger. I am very contented if the REITs I am investing in remains as it is forever and continue paying me my yield. Tell me what I am missing here pls.

With each acquisition comes the risk. Risk that they are overpaying, risk of mismanagement etc. I do not want that.

Wrong thread. Wrong thread.

Not exactly 100% dilution on 9% with 7.25%.
As some are funded through borrowing aka leverage which rate won't be more than 6%, so you gain extra 1-2% through leverage.

The more the acquisition funded through borrowing, the more yield the reit can achieve, as long as the properties yield > borrowing cost.

Yes, the more the borrowing, the more the yield that can be achieved.
But recent financial crisis has give a good lesson. Once you cannot refinance the borrowing, the whole reit can collapse due to excessive debt.
So over leverage can be dangerous as well.
