REITs have had a great run these last several years. Be aware it may not continue. I do not know the best one. But there are some index funds of REITs. Think about investing in those. They were among the best performing REITs this year.
RWR and VNQ and IYR. Each is up about 38% ytd. Sort of a broad brush approach to picking the best. Just pick them all.
Here is a portfolio of individual REITs that I like:

This is from http://www.top10traders.com – this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in “play” money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500.
Here are this month’s best traders:

Hope this helps.
RWR is a great etf. play but right now is way over-valued….watch it for a while….under 85 is a nibble…..right now the BIG boys hold alot of it…..the stocks(inside.. that mostly make it up)….afraid to move(out) WITHOUT HOLDING EACH OTHERS HANDS…..thats what Goldman pays them for
If you’re with Fidelity already, why not just go to a Fidelity mutual fund in the Real Estate sector? I have had great gains…23% per year for the last three… with FRESX…. and now I’m going to put some into their “international real estate” fund.
If you don’t like the fund idea, I have also held Capital Trust (CT) check out their performance….I’m happy with them…solid, stable
Good luck.
I would not get a reit until at least March (let the feds decide for you on their interest rates). There should be a glut of foreclousers coming this year thanks to the AMR’s that were spit out faster than Paris H does her shopping.
Now sometime this year there is an ETF international REIT which I would take a LONG close look at.
