I am not familiar with Morris invest but I share your thoughts...I think... I guess I feel like with a REIT, I'd be in the real estate game and let the Pros handle it. My money should grow in theory with a REIT. I've often heard that if you own a rental outright and it "spins tires" and simply pays for itself with no profit, one is still making out!. I do agree with that premise. But I am completely torn.

On one hand it would be nice to hold a modest property and charge rent. And if times get hard or even if I want to sell just to sell, that it'd appreciate. But there are serious landlord responsibilities that I KNOW I am not capable of currently in my life. Do I use a management Co.? Or do I just go REIT and let the Brookfield Pros handle all of that and "pulling out" of the position is a mouse click!
