I did a simulation by comparing owning a physical industrial property vs buying REITS, the result show that if u can get above 6% yield from REITS, then it's better than owning physical pty. Plus there r many risk associate with physical pty like vacancy rate, gov ruling, ageing property, rental default. All these will eat into yr return.

Reits is a better choice if you do not have enough capital to buy a second property. Investing in reits allow you to own a part of many different buildings and collect rents from them.
