Author's Opinion

The full half yearly contribution from the 2 newly acquired properties would improve UHREIT performance moving forward. However, it would be offset by loss of income from the divestment of Elizabeth and Perth Amboy self-storage properties which is target to complete by 2Q 2022. Let's see later whether managements would acquire any property after the divestment.

    Has higher yield compared to other Reits of US properties but it seems more riskier fundamentals wise.
    • REIT_TIREMENT
      higher yield yes, but riskier or not would be subjected to entry price and individual preference.

    I don't think it's wise to overinvest in real estate.
