Investing in a REIT

[Ane Deys]

Hello,

just reading up on private REITs and wondering if I can get some insight from BP members, what do you think of REITs, are they a safer vehicle to invest in RE and a better source of passive income? are there any REITs you would recommend?

I would not generalize all REITs as being equal and there are also a lot of private funds who did not go the REIT route as a reit, while having specific tax benefits is also required to be passive.

There are several groups that also discuss passive investing options here on BP as well.

My recommendation is to do your own due diligence and make sure you diversify
