2017 YEAR. I am still predominately into reits (60%). I underperformed the big market indicies this year, but beat the reit sector which was pretty flat. I ended up 12.8% for the year. Calculated my CAGR for the past 14 year period -- since I started keeping track -- 14.9% annual compounded. NYSE = 8%.

Sold pref stocks early in 2017 due to interest rate increase risks. I recently bought vanguard ETFs -- VOO VYM VO VFH. Figuring that the tax cut would help regular companies more than reits. And it gives me some exposure to the overall mkt.

Super sized holdings: MAA DLR CONE LXP BDN PDM STAG FR NEE & VOO
Decent sized: CUZ QTS AIV CPT DRE UNP ES XEL & VYM VFH VO
Smaller: a dozen or so others.

PS. Although I keep track, I have to remind myself that I am not trying to beat the market.
I went to safe dividend stocks after the 2008 crash.
