The answer to how you perceived the question is the cash flow and scalability. The real estate market is still unbounded, and areas with scarcity have the effect of continuing to drive demand. Other asset classes don't have these perks all in one. You need new money coming out reliably and quickly. REITs are just useful bespoke packages managed by someone else without you needing to figure out that infrastructure.
