Looking to buy REIT's for my portfolio Savings...Suggestions?

[David J Warrick Jr]

So long term I want to buy and hold multi family homes. Short term I'm working on squaring up my credit, paying down debt and getting my credit score up. As well as learning as much as I can. Meanwhile I want to save in a way that will get me better returns than the .75% my savings pays. So I after some (lots) of reading and bp podcasts I think some real estate investment trusts on the stock market would be the way to go. I just don't know which ones are better than others, and what might be the best. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
