Turnkey SFH vs REITs. Who wins?

[Joe M.]

I have one rental.  Its been doing awesome.  I have a great tenant.  I dont mind the extra work.  However, I dont want another job as a landlord to scale it.  There doesnt seem to be any good local property manager companies.  

So to all the pros out there who have some experience in one or the other or both, which do you prefer, turnkey sfh or REITs?

I like the idea of passive income (who doesnt right?) but not sure which would be a better long term investment, both in terms of growing in value and monthly income.

Thoughts? Opinions? Why you chose one or the other or both.

There are pros and cons to both, but given the situation you're in... I'd say go with a REIT for this one, just to get the diversification. Not so much to intentionally be diversified, but then if you have one of each, you can see which one you like better and which one performs better for you. Then whichever one that is, you can buy more of that one.
