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?
