Should I invest in a REIT ?

[MIchael McCUe]

I wanna save up a down-payment, the market I'm in is very expensive so unless I move it's a bit difficult to get my down payment, I feel like a REIT might help me with that, I'm checking out Scott McGillivrays fund mainly.

A REIT could or could not help, really depends on the performance. When looking at a fund you want to take the returns they offer as a grain of salt and look at the company history, how long you have to have the money illiquid and what their investment strategy and team are.

There are thousands of funds to invest in, so doing the proper due diligence and finding the one that you like and fits your investment profile is key.
