As an alternative if you want cash flow instead of long-term margins, you can go for a dividend-oriented ETF and get 5%+ for doing literally nothing.

Totally agree. I set aside some funds in REITs for good dividends and then some value stocks

Of course there is the whole "timing the market is a waste of time" discussion but I wouldn't buy REITs right now considering where interest rates are going. Though given that interest rates simply haven't increased very quickly, could be that the market is over-discounting them and they are actually underpriced!
