Investing in REITs is a more attractive alternative to physical real estate currently due to the rapid rise in interest rates and cost associated with owning a home. High interest rates and rising home prices make owning physical properties less feasible in the current market, but have driven REIT prices down in the process, creating great buying opportunities. REITs offer the opportunity to own properties globally and provide regular dividend income, making them an appealing investment option.
