Ask yourself reit pays you 90% of what they earn. Usually they will be asking asking some eveye few years. Do you want to be an ATM or do you want someone to become your ATM.  Behind every stock is a business. See if you can understand the business and if you like it. If you are lazy, just buy ETF. No harm in buying ETF.

2. 3 then go for ETF. 4 Some one already point you to the direction. You just need to read though one by one.
Yes it's doable. You are talking to the guy for manage to have 5-6 months pay in fully passive income every year and will increase to 1y eventually. Once I hit 2y of fully passive pay, I am walking away from working.

Of course my semi passive income already exceed my 2y pay. But to get to where I am you need to do homework and don't do things conventionally. I am using my semi passive income to build up my fully passive income.
Then you get diluted lo. Simple as that. Means you received lower payment if you do not continue putting in money.

Why? Very simple. They pay you 90% of what they earn. Where to find money to buy new property and where to find money to pay off the debts that are due? So they turn to you as ATM machine.

That's is one of the reason I never hold any reits anymore. There are other reasons also.
