re : Mr. IPO said...
Not selling. I was hoping to get more shares from public tranche to keep for the yield

actually, given the increase in property taxes, it is wise to collect whatever safe dividends can be found.
S$1000 in property tax means around S$20,000 to S$25,000 in MapleTree China or CRT.
For S$9000 in annual property tax, one has to have around S$200,000 in these REITS / Trusts.
High property prices are no that fun after all, right? Are my calculations correct.
Usually distributions from REIT to Singapore unit holders are free of tax whereas if you own a real property, you have to pay property tax and taxes on rental income.

paying property tax (on physical real estate) from dividends from REIT (distributions) is a beautiful arrangement, ... that's what I'm suggesting.
