Curious, what are your thoughts about rentals vs a REIT? Obviously you aren't paying an upper management, and you are better leveraged off a mortgage, but its less dirty work and better diversified.

I've been wanting to do the calculation myself to see the advantages vs disadvantages... curious about thoughts of those that may have don't.
