This will cause lesser DPU in future ?
Investment of 1b, believe 50% will be on loan and the other half from profit ?
there goes our DPU.

Any investment won't cause profit to drop off suddenly one.
Since reit generally doesn't have much cash in hand (due to at least 90% realised profit being channeled to distribution), so generally any new investment will be made through loan, or new unit issuance (depended on the reit manager).
So new investment may means more leverage/borrowing needed,
or more unit may need to issue to fund the new investment.
New unit issuance may dilute the realised EPS, but if the new investment can contribute more profit to the reit, it can nullify the dilution effect.
Reit is required to pay at least 90% of its profit as distribution to get the tax exempted status.
So reit cannot say draw half of profit to purchase new property, and only left half for distribution.
So as long as the realised profit (EPS) is not affected, then distribution won't be affected.
