I looked at the REIT returns and was pretty excited, until I saw how low they can drop. -40% in 2008..

Any investment where you stand to make significant profit on, is an investment you can lose your ass on. More potential profit = more risk.

The difference with investing into an index fund or reit is that you don't have a monthly payment that you're responsible for come rain or shine. Your etf is not going to hit you with several thousand dollars of surprise repair bills. You're not on the hook for property taxes every year with them either.

And if the stock market loses double digits in value, the real estate market will get hit too to some degree. You may find that it's difficult to rent your property out at a good price if the bottom falls out of the market.
