I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

REITs. Simply explained! (4)

Read older posting? REITs. Simply explained! (3)

Investing in REITs is like investing in properties?

Do you believe that investing in REIT is like investing in properties (DIY investing)?

REIT Managers and analysts covering REIT sectors like you to believe so. They claim that buying into REIT is like owning a tiny portion of a big pile of properties and DPU is like your rental income.

Really ah?

In DIY property investment, you take care of your own interests and look forward to fatten your own wallet; but it is not the same as REIT.

The REIT Managers will look after their own interests and flatten their wallets first before distributing whatever leftovers to you as DPU (your rental income).

So it is never quite the same!

Lastly, do you like mutual funds (unit trusts)?

REIT is like a mutual fund specialising in properties investment and management but their expertise can be too costly.
