There are REITS out there that do not perform too bad. They do not do great, but they're not very volatile and they are paying out ridiculous annual yields (they have to by law). What is the downside I am missing from owning some REITS that pay 15%+ annual dividends? You might do better from other stocks that appreciate in value, but that is only with the bull market we've had in the last few years. In the long term, are REITS as great of an investment as they seem, or are you better off putting your money somewhere else? Another question, how close are REITS to actual Real Estate investing as far as "Equity invested to payout" ratio? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to indulge my possibly dumb question.
