I stopped buying real estate to buy REITs instead because they earn higher returns with lower risk in most cases. Example: Realty Income (O) has managed to generate 15% annual returns, but most private net lease investors would have been happy to earn a ~10% return with the same strategy. You can access my entire REIT Portfolio by taking a 2-week free trial to my REIT newsletter, High Yield Landlord: https://seekingalpha.com/checkout?ser...

Why REITs earn higher returns than rental properties? REITs enjoy significant economies of scale. They develop their own properties. They skip brokerage fees. They do sale and leaseback transactions, etc. To give you an example: Realty Income $O has managed to generate 15% annual returns for its shareholders by buying Class A net lease properties with a conservative 30% LTV. Most private net lease investors would have been happy to earn a ~10% return.

Why REITs are safer than rental properties? REITs are liquid, professionally managed, diversified, less leveraged investments and shareholders enjoy limited liability. With the right adjustments, REITs are also less volatile than rental properties.
