I am interested in acquiring some real estate investments in an IRA.
It appears that the way to accomplish this is through Real Estate
Investment Trusts (REIT's) or limited partnerships.  REITs have the
advantage that they are traded on the major exchanges and hence are
fairly liquid. That way, if the yield on a REIT drops or is out of
line with the yield of other potential investments, I can sell the
REIT.  With real estate limited partnerships, once you buy in, you're
usually in for the life of the partnership.

Does anyone who has REIT's or limited partnerships in their IRA have
any advice (pro or con) about either?  

Are there any REIT's that you find particularly attractive?
