REITs as a starting point

I’m new to investing so I’ve spent a lot of time trying to learn how to have consistent growth to support my retirement one day in the distant future. I can’t afford to invest in actual Real Estate so I thought what about REITs. I know they have different avenues to invest in like commercial and multi family which would be a nice diverse portfolio if I those the right ones. By law with a REIT the income has to be reincorporated to the fund like a dividend, but then I thought how much is taxable income on a typical Real Estate property? What if there was no income generated because operating cost are to high. But when rent is increased that increase is put back into the fund. I guess what I’m asking is do you think REITs are a good way to go for investors with limited funds? I’d love to own Real Estate in my area that I could pass down to my children and learn what it takes to be good with growing generational wealth and providing a nice place for people to live but I have limited knowledge and money at this point... Thank you.
