Cherroy will welcome you with open arms

1. I no count. You don't need rocket science to know that, right, just click the reit sector and see how many inside, be it from brokers online platform or KLSE website

2. If you want to keep reit 1-2 years, I advise this may not a place to be.
Dividend (the correct word is distribution) yield is ranged from 5.x% - 8.x% currently across.
It is far more enough to cover the brokerage.
Any capital appreciation is surplus, it is like fixed income instrument.

Reit shouldn't be up like ordinary stock, upside is capped by its yield.
While rental generally in at least 2-3 years lease, you won't see a sudden rise in rental/income of the reit generally, until rental market shoot up significant upon renewal, which generally unlikely to happen.

3. Wrong, It can fluctuate if there is problem in economy of properties market.
Axreit did fall to 1.00 when 2008 crisis on its height time, do did Qcap dropped to 0.8x.
Just in normal day, it generally won't fluctuate much, because its earning is highly predictable, just a little % difference.

Reit can go burst due to high leverage as well. There were a number of reit (overseas) went burst during 2008 when refinancing cannot be obtained.

The correct mindset of investing in reit is about owned a property and collect rental.

Most reit has their own website which you can go through the details, including annual report.

Local brokers general do offer such a service, you can ask them, it is different account generally.

Among the 2, I preferred Qcap instead of Pav, (sorry I may be bias, I owned Qcap), as it has better yield near 8%, discount on NAV as well.
Also Qcap is more diversified, compared to Pav.
I particular like Qcap's Tesco, its location is a golden/prime location, and value of land at there only will go up in the long term, as well as Tesco long term lease of more than 20 years.

Among three (TW, Star, Sun), I only owned Stareit, as it can provide steady long term yield, as all its properties already in long term lease already, most at least 15 years.
Although it has limited upside due to boring yield (as it won't improve further much as rental is fixed for long term already), it has little gearing, which is somehow very comfortable and reduce the risk of refinancing.
Low gearing, means they have room to leverage to have better yield, but personally view, it is better with low gearing.

Just my personal view, don't take it as advice as I may be little bias. 

Surprisingly you are a Senior member in LYN, but did not know there is a Diamond mine exists near you.

Greek is so far away, but I believe in most people mindsets, just 5km away from Malaysia.

Happy Investing.
