With those occupancy rate and the below "forecast" Yield FY 2021, not my cup of tea    Somemore they are assuming on 100% payout rate.



SUNREIT?

Let's revisit at my initial writing since last year May 2020 :


My Sinkalan forecast DPU for FY20200 : 7.7sens
Actual DPU FY 2020 : 7.33 sens
To-date FY2021 DPU : 1.67 sens

SUNREIT's major property income is derived from Retail, and with all these never ending MCO CMCO RMCO FMCO, impact on retail sector is REAL and huge. 



I doubt SUNREIT is able to pay 7 sens this year....Now lets see the chart :



1.4x level seems a pretty strong support...If i place a bet invest now, most likely i am able to get 4 sens FY2021, which translate to 2.8% yield this year...at the same time, i'm "hoping" the situation will get better and DPU will normalise soon..worth the bet?

Another write up last time :


Yes with worldwide massive fiscal injection to fight covid and central banks shift towards more accommodative policies, low interest rate environment will continue..at least for a year or two.. Yield chasing pension funds and institutional funds still remain invested in REIT.

However, as a tiny retail investor, i will still ask myself whats my expectation to SUNREIT? recovery play? Dividend play? Is there any other options out there?

If i want to buy into a REIT, i aim to collect Rental from it....if i know most of tenants unable to pay me rental, or i have to subsidize their rent for the time being, why should i buy into it? Why now?

Perhaps you can take a look on ATRIUM...now trading at all time high..and there is a valid reasoning to support the rocketed price 

Very informative piece from SM Thanneermalai:
How are individual REIT holders taxed?

You guys are taxed at least 10% no matter how.

Now that  you've brought up REIT dividend taxes again,

Has any of you experienced a REIT that distributed less than 90% of its income and subsequently you had to declare it in your income tax?

I hold 3 REITS and their annual reports state that it is their policy to always distribute at least 90%

Never..

That's the purpose of reits.. Declare >90%, so as to avoid paying the 24% corporate tax.

Idk, maybe a REIT in the past had some extraordinary incident that made them pay less than 90%

very quiet thread....

IGBREIT has dipped rather low and in the zone where i bought 3 years ago... so... whether killing myself and grabbing a bargain, we shall see

UOAreit worth to buy? I bought some last week.
Another dividend stock I have is Maybank.

I actually like dividend investing a lot, but many gurus say better to focus on growth stocks.
Problem now all the growth in US heading for correction due to rising interest rates / inflation.

Make me more interested to put my money in dividend investing. At least Reit's value are strong and seldom fluctuate, + steady dividends.

Axreit seems like the only active REIT so far 👀

Renovating shah alam property for shoppee with 15 years lease 👀

I sold mine and went for UOAreit.
For Malaysia Reit in the end is the Dividend Yield that matters.

Prices keep fluctuate and will go back to original or near its price.
Only during start of Covid pandemic their prices nosedive.. now all back to normal.

If you want steady growth/returns a year + dividend of 5-6% a year then go for SG Reits.

Yeah I will soon open an international broker account. For now just to hit my investment target with local bourse then basically buy international stocks.

Singapore REITs and USA tech.

Dividend yield from local bourse can help with the international stocks purchase.

nowadays I just buy Malaysia stocks if I need to keep some extra cash saved there.
Example it is recommended to have 2-3 mths of salary in Savings... I will put 1 mth savings extra in local Bursa (can put more if you feel you need cash later in the year or next year). Put there to get dividend of 7-8% is gooding.
So in case need cash can easily sell stocks from there to transfer back to Savings acount. Fast and easy withdrawal.

Bursa growth really bad. Not enough foreign investors to pump up our prices (ever since 1MDB incident). Hope will improve in future.
Some people can make money in Bursa if they know how to invest in the lesser known stocks and monitor them.. for me don't have such time or risk appetite.
