Investing in REITs vs Rental Property

There are both pros and cons with investing in REITs and rental properties. I found myself asking the question "should I invest in REITs or a rental property" many times when I first started learning about investing for passive income. The fact of the matter is, they both come with their pros and cons. In this video I share some of my own experience investing in both REITs and physical rental properties.
