Yes I agree 100%, and my(1-3 yr)goal is to get up to 400K in trusts. There is a large risk using borrowed money, but I think no more that if you bought rental property, maybe less.
With REIT's you could make a case for an appreciating asset increasing the payout and the NAV over time..

It is very hard to determine risk/reward, however it gets back to my question about "what is the difference between putting $200K into REIT's versus rental property?" I have in the past owned rental property(with a mortgage), and being a long term hold with a steady stream of cash flow I wasn't concerned about day to day prices(its such a pain to sell anyway).
