Cool! Just wanted to make sure you were from the States. I thought you were from Canada for some reason.
So, you can also consider these 3 ETFs. IYR and REET from iShares and VNQ from Vanguard. If you don't know what an ETF is, it's just a fund that has a lot of REITs in it. So you don't really have to choose one or the other, the fund managers do the work for you, and they add and remove REITs in the fund when they see fit.
IYR is a US, REET is global, and VNQ is US as well.
Check and see if they fit your goals. Also for disclaimer, I do not work for Vanguard nor iShares. I do hold REET's Canadian equivalent in my portfolio, which is CGR.
I was planning on holding individual REITs that are based on industry. For example, There will always be a need for hospitals, health care facilities and such. I have been eyeing private prison REIT's despite the shaky moral grounds. Other than that the financial and other factors regarding it is fairly sound.
Edit: Looks like Private prisons aren't going to be a good pick now.
