Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (CAR.UN) is Canada's largest residential REIT, owning apartment buildings and manufactured home communities primarily in major urban markets. CAR.UN has grown its distribution consistently over multiple decades and benefits from Canada's structural rental housing shortage. Residential exposure provides defensive distribution characteristics compared to commercial REITs.

- 2REIT distributions include ROC components; RRSP or RRIF placement is tax-optimal for Canadians holding CAR.UN.
- 3DRIP is available; verify whether your broker's plan reinvests at a discount or at market.
