It depends if you want to spend time to manage your tenants. As landlord, you need to be able to handle any requests for faulty things on your property. Also need to chase rental payments if your tenant is forgetful or suka delay payment type.

Meanwhile REITS provide rental income without the hassle of managing tenants. Of course your overall income will be slightly lesser. Capital gains will also depend on interest movement, as REITS are affected by OPR expectations.

wear and tear, upkeep from the property is too much especially if you own few units..

better park in shares or reit and earn the dividend. Yes subject to fluctuation..

Looking at IGBREIT might be low enough ... if revenue is improving the it is the good buy.. but not sure about competition from new shopping mall.
Probably factory reit ? is the better choice ?

Why is overall income lesser for Reits?

Just asking some opinion from the larger community of kopitiam whether to buy house or buy reit, as I think that post covid will be bull year for property.

My fengshui master advised that I should buy a house to retain my passive income, but I felt bothered of too much hidden costs and considerations by owning a house (stamp duty, reno fee, security fee, low rental yield, etc). If buying reit will consider a better alternative?

Let discuss openly.
