Are REITs as Good as Buying Real Estate?

A recent Forbes article claimed to prove investing in an REIT was better than actually buying real estate. The article made some valid points about the advantages of REITs but left out most of the advantages of buying houses, apartments, or commercial properties. Investing in REITs is much easier than investing in real estate, and I have invested in REITs in the past. With an REIT, you miss out on several things, including the ability to buy below market value, depreciation, control, and better financing options. I no longer invest in REITs because I make so much more from buying houses.
