Looking to get into REITs, any tips?
So I’m new to investing, and do not have a ton of money saved up to go out and buy up some rentals which was my original goal. Considering getting into REITs to have some money flow to use at some point towards other RE investing goals.
Any tips, pointers, pros cons?

REITS have performed well over the last 10 years but several are in serious trouble right now especially office and retail so you need to be careful and do your homework. Housing, mobile home parks, self storage and industrial are good bets moving forward but you definitely want to steer clear of office and retail REITS
