REITs vs physical property?

[Badda]

Hello

Has anyone else swapped physical properties for REIT investments? Am toying with doing same but wondered about pitfalls.

True, there are other REITs available too though, such as healthcare.

So I have dabbled in Target Healthcare REIT since the OP. 5.9% yield, https://www.targethealthcarereit.co.uk/ £600m of property in 73 homes.

I've only stuck a couple of grand in for now but plan to steadily grow the investment if it continues well.

Thanks.

Buy a heavily discounted REIT right now. Wait until 2021 for full div's and the SP will rise. Look for bargains and you can get 30% projected.

Talks in media of CGT changes leading to a sell of off properties? Treasury needs cash.

REITs don’t have capital gains tax applied.

No what I mean is there’s no Cgt allowance for companies owning property like individuals have. Or am I missing something?
