A recent purchase of mine this year, and a new position added to my portfolio is Canadian Apartment (CAP) REIT, which goes by the Toronto Stock Exchange ticker CAR.UN. This is now my third REIT position that I hold and rounds out that trio nicely. My other two REIT's are Dream Office REIT, which focuses on large office buildings and commercial spaces, RIOCAN REIT which operates retail spaces, plazas and malls and now CAP REIT which covers residential properties, apartment buildings and manufactured home communities.
In mid January 2017 I initiated my position with 38 shares at a price of $31.28, and a monthly distribution of $0.1042, yielding 4%. Providing me with an additional monthly income of $3.96, $47.5 per year. Currently the stock is now trading at $32.11.
While CAP REIT is generally considered a lower yielding REIT than others in the space, it has a good history of steadily increasing its distribution year over year. Since every year they are able to increase the rent of their properties, their cash flow is steady and safe.
