Are you saying -If big amt of cash with hand, buy property, Otherwise buy REIT first?

Yes, you are right sis.
If you can afford to comfortably own property or properties for investments, then go for it.

Otherwise REITS will be the alternative as it is more liquid, less capital needed and no hidden costs and problems associated with tenants and the need to pay taxes etc.

江湖寂寞心难忍
无奈心己似死水
高师明灯须另觅
我己乘风寻仙去

The last stanza..... means you follow the wind to look for the angels.
What does that imply?

我对苏子有独爱, 我回你

人生到处知何似，
应似飞鸿踏雪泥。
泥上偶然留指爪，
鸿飞那复计东西。

I understand that reits levy a number of fees too - annual management fees, performance fees, property management, acquisition and divestment fees.

How much are these fees?
Are they just a small sum?

Really? Got so many fees?

My little heart can't stand to monitor stock up and down, same to REIT. I think buying a hard property more suitable for me... I just kengcheong for tenant every two years

i think we need not be too concerned about REITS fees. to the end investor, all you need to calculate is the net dividend, buy and sell price, then u know the net yield leow. all the fees are already hidden in the P&L.

for ppty, it is less clear becoz most ppty owners are managing their own ppty, which means they need to know all the operating expenses to arrive at the final yield.
